Mystery on the Pecos
The Will & Buck Series: Book Two
For Readers 8 - 12 | Grades 3 - 7
by award-winning author Alice V. Brock
Crates of stolen army supplies hidden in a cave. A fresh grave.
These mean trouble for twelve-year-old Will and Two Feathers, his half Comanche adopted brother.
Will's father is accused of stealing army goods and murdering a soldier. The boys set out to
discover the true thief and murderer, but who can they trust? They must work in secret and in
deadly danger to solve the mystery.
Things get worse when Two Feathers discovers that their old enemy, the Comanche War Chief Yellow
Hawk, is stalking them again, meaning to kill both boys and take Buck, Will's faithful stallion.
What will the three have to risk to uncover the truth and right the wrong?
Praise for Mystery on the Pecos—Will & Buck: Book Two
"I have given these books to my grandkids for Christmas. They love cows, horses, and reading. I loved them
too. Very good read, reminds me of the westerns I watched as a kid. It's fun to see what these two friends
get into."
~ Sharon Newton
"This book was released just in time for Christmas. This series is an awesome read for kids to teens. Full of adventure!"
~ Ashley Lyons
Praise for River of Cattle—Will & Buck: Book One
Winner of the Western Fictioneer's 2016 Peacemaker Award
"A compelling and triumphant introduction to the colorful bygone era of cattle drives. Alice
Brock entertainingly weaves fact and fiction into a dual tale of high drama, where diversity
and friendship must meet head-on to determine who survives."
~ Timothy Lewis, Host of the Writing Academy at West Texas A&M University, author of Forever Friday
"Alice Brock writes an enduring, factually accurate account of a time in history when the West was full of adventure."
~ Jodi Thomas, New York Times best-selling author of Welcome to Harmony
Alice V. Brock learned to love Western books as a child when her father brought home a Louis
L'Amour paperback Western, and she fell in love with the cowboys galloping through those
pages. Mr. L'Amour's books, and TV shows like Gunsmoke, Rawhide, and Bonanza of
the late 50s and 60s, brought the west alive to her. The history of Texas and the Old West is
full of stories of those times. Her wish is to bring them alive to kids of today. The Old West
has not disappeared, and Alice brings real people in history to her writing. Real people who
lived during those times and have descendants who live today.
Her chance to see cowboys in action came when she married and moved to her husband's family ranch
in Iola, Texas, where she watches the grazing cattle from her kitchen window. Her grandchildren
are the fifth generation on the Brock Ranch.
Alice lives in Central Texas with her two dogs: Button, a Shih Tzu, and Quigley, a standard poodle,
who keep things lively on the Brock Ranch.
The first book in the Will and Buck Series is the award winning River of Cattle, the Western
Fictioneer's Peacemaker 2016 Award winner for Young Adult/Children and a Peacemaker Finalist for
Best First Novel of 2016. Also it earned the Will Rogers Medallion Finalist Award for Younger Readers.
It can be found through Pen-L Publishing, Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. Watch for announcements about
book three, Palo Duro Mustangs.
