Introduction

"A bold new story where women have taken their rightful place in the narrative of the Outlaw Western." - Kathleen Kent

In this novel told through journal entries, interviews, and newspaper columns, uncover the hidden history of America's first and only all-female gang in the American West.

"Readers who relish an unusual narrative structure will enjoy this unique take on the traditional western." - Booklist

Margaret Parker and Hattie LaCour never intended to turn outlaw.

After being run off their ranch by a greedy cattleman, their family is left destitute. As women alone they have few choices: marriage, lying on their backs for money, or holding a gun. For Margaret and Hattie the choice is simple. With their small makeshift family, the gang pulls off a series of heists across the West.

Though the newspapers refuse to give the female gang credit, their exploits don't go unnoticed. Pinkertons are on their trail, a rival male gang is determined to destroy them, and secrets among the group threaten to tear them apart. Now, Margaret and Hattie must find a way to protect their family, finish one last job, and avoid the hangman's noose.
