Publisher's summary

When Lorinda Jameson's bankrupt father commits suicide and the infamous Black Hand mafia is dispatched to collect his debts - or her head - the young orphan and Philadelphia debutante rechristens herself "Etta Place" and goes West.

Etta initially earns her way as a "Harvey Girl" waitress in a remote Colorado railroad outpost, but fate and murder soon intervene and Etta joins forces with Butch Cassidy's notorious gang, the Wild Bunch.

In their hideout at Hole-in-the-Wall, Wyoming, Etta meets Harry Longbaugh, a.k.a. the Sundance Kid, and begins the passionate and tragic romance that will be the greatest of her life.

Critic reviews

"Great fun and - beneath the hijinks - a surprisingly substantial novel." (Kirkus Reviews)
"[A] winning tale of the Wild West....Kolpan's snappy storytelling makes it impossible not to want to ride along as the characters careen toward their tragic ends." (Publishers Weekly)

Lots of fun

This book is fun! I enjoyed how the author blended facts and people from the old west into a novel. Etta is a passionate, fun, and intelligent character.
