Streets of Laredo

In the 1890s Woodrow Call works as a bounty hunter in a West increasingly controlled by railroads and commercial interests. A railway company hires him to pursue Joey Garza, a young Mexican marksman whose attacks on trains have made him both feared and difficult to locate.

Call’s pursuit draws Pea Eye Parker, Lorena and Garza’s mother Maria into separate journeys across Texas and the borderlands. Encounters with John Wesley Hardin, Judge Roy Bean and Charles Goodnight place the fictional chase inside a frontier whose legendary figures are ageing, dying or becoming part of history.
