THE OLD WEST'S MOST LEGENDARY LOST TREASURE...
AN OUTLAW'S STOLEN TOMBSTONE...
A DESPERADO'S GRAVE SECRET!

26 years ago, outlaw Billy the Kid’s tombstone was stolen from Fort Sumner, New Mexico. Now it has mysteriously been returned. When teenage brothers Pancho and Dorado Dumez steal it themselves, they get more than they bargained for. Encased inside the tombstone is a map that leads to the Southwest’s greatest treasure: The Lost Adams Diggings—a canyon comprised of solid gold. But the brothers aren’t the only ones on the treasure’s trail. So is bounty hunter Seven McCaw, and along with him comes a modern day incarnation of the Santa Fe Ring—a secretive organization that once ruled the West. Forced onto the open roads of New Mexico, the brothers must solve the mystery of Billy the Kid’s death and find the lost canyon before the Ring does...

John LeMay stated, that the influence here is "The Outsiders", but maybe it is just me but Pancho Dumez, is a snarky Indiana Jones and I like it. Following hos timeline of events, Pancho is a fun walk-of-life to read. Not a typical teenager. John LeMay does good job relating to the reader, Pancho is a 14 year old relatable teen who is a snarky kid, who digs the girls attention as much as anyone does. It was fun to remember back to a time when I was his age and, "the girls", were a big ol' deal. But Pancho is actually cool and I wasn't. Built around, "Billy the Kid's", grave being robbed and onto a trek to retrieve it because, why not? Also with historic value through in, as the author has done his research and added authenticity to his fictional work, making this a thrilling adventure as Pancho and his brother embark on the fall-into-it quest. I also found this read, to be more enjoyable than a Western. It just has that tone. I don't want to spoil this quick read for anyone. I couldn't help but devour the book in 6 hours I think. I have no life. Help.

Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful 1970s-tinged adventure pushes all the right buttons.
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024

Part Indiana Jones, part teenage dramedy, and all entertainment, “The Noted Desperado Pancho Dumez” pushes all the right buttons for action fans.

The book’s first fourth recalls Mark Twain in its humorous depiction of a prank that mischievous teenager Pancho Dumez orchestrates. But things become more dire as Pancho and his brother Dorado steal Billy the Kid’s tombstone, leading them into danger, intrigue, and life-and-death peril. The humor persists throughout the book, but fast-paced and sometimes ominous adventure takes centerstage.

The characters, including heroes, villains, and in-betweens, wholly capture the reader’s attention. For example, eerie bounty hunter Seven McCaw will give anyone the creeps.

But despite the ample cast, Pancho remains the core of the book, a devil-may-care teen who learns many of life’s lessons the hard way. This isn’t just an exterior adventure, but an interior quest that changes Pancho’s life from the inside out.

(A fun extra for kaiju fans familiar with LeMay’s Japanese monster books is the novel’s clever reference to “King Kong vs. Godzilla.”)

Thoroughly enjoyed this action-packed YA novel (though great for adults, too) set in NM with plenty of references to one of my favorite historical figures, Billy the Kid. LeMay really brings the characters and settings to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars For action fans and history buffs.
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2022
The highlight of the book are the characters. High schooler Pancho Dumez has great chemistry with his elder brother Dorado Dumez. The story is action packed. Billy the Kid's tombstone serves the same purpose as the Ark of the Covenant in the Indiana Jones movies. Both the Dumez brothers and the Santa Fe Ring, which serves the same purpose as the Nazis in the Indy Jones films, are trying to get their hands on it.

Aside from the action, this book will appeal to history buffs of the Old West and a bit of nostalgia for older readers as the story takes place in the 1970s. Check it out. The book appeals to a wide audience.
