Bastard son of an outlaw and a whore, Duane Braddock was raised in a monastery and at 17, can't ride a horse, shoot a gun and is defenseless against warm whiskey, wanton women and screaming lead. But before the week is out, Duane is feared by every gunman in the county as the notorious 'Pecos Kid'. He did it with help from friends and enemies alike.
