The Case Of The Deadly Desperados (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

They did not look excited nor had they spurred their mounts to a gallop, so I judged they had not seen me. But any moment they would. I desperately looked around for a place to hide.
    “P.K.,” said Belle Donne. “Climb under my skirt.”
    It was a strange request but I saw immediately that she was right. Unless one of the Celestials would instantly give me shelter, the only place to hide was under her big hoopskirt. Quick as a telegram, I darted underneath it.
    It was like being in a pink tent with two slender legs instead of a tent pole. Belle Donne was wearing ruffled white bloomers & white stockings & dusty black ankle boots with about a dozen hooked buttons on each side. It was cool under there, but also dusty. I felt my nose prickle.
    I crouched down under there and waited. My mouth was dry. I could feel the mountain thumping & I could hear a donkey braying & some Celestials arguing in Chinese.
