Hacker's Raid

Historical fiction by author Jared McVay

After seven years of exile, Justin Hacker returns to his hometown of Nogales, Arizona, to try and break his younger brother out of a Mexican prison where he waits to be hanged for crimes he didn't commit. But first, Justin must overcome certain obstacles—such as a town bully, a Mexican bandito and his gang, being stranded naked on the desert, an Indian attack, a father who has vowed to shoot him on sight should he return to Nogales, and matching wits with a maniacal prison warden who hates gringos. And if that isn't enough, after several twists of fate, Justin has to lead the whole town of Nogales back across the border, where his father and uncle now await the hangman's noose in the dreaded Mexican prison.

Hacker's Raid is fast-moving with nonstop action that keeps you asking what's going to happen next.
