Synopsis for Jackrabbit Homesteader: In this adventure Lyndy enjoys a relaxing visit to the spa, starts a healthy new lifestyle and gets a promotion at work. Just kidding! It’s a Lyndy Martinez story, so she’s back to bust some heads in the Mojave, freeload tequila, balance her shaky romantic life and outwit her employers. What did you expect?

San Bernardino County in the 1970s; 20,000 square miles of sweeping desert and containing the best preserved stretch of Route-66 remaining in America. Jack Decklin is the young, self-assured chief of security for a prominent national railroad. When his special wedding train is robbed in a remote corner of the Mojave Desert, he sets out to hire the toughest and most cunning PI the region has to offer, to serve as his local guide. He’s surprised to discover the only person fitting the bill is a Latina named Lyndy Martinez, aka The Spitfire, who works for a bail bondsman. In need of extra money, Lyndy agrees to take the job against her boss’s advice. Jack and Lyndy take off in a black and gold Pontiac Trans-Am racing to capture the thieves before the trail goes cold. Despite differing investigative styles, they must learn to get along without killing each other. Along the way they cross paths with a variety of desert wackos, including a vegan farming cult where everyone wears overalls, a portly man who buys and fixes old army tanks, and a 10-year-old doomsday-prepping survivalist with a knack for trick bow and arrow shots. As events unfold Lyndy uncovers a painful secret from the town’s past, one Jack didn’t want her to know. And when all hope seems lost, Lyndy and Jack are forced to combine strengths to escape a deadly booby-trap. You’re gonna want to pull up a lawn chair, dust off your pet rock and grab a cold Tab for this one.
