A taut, thrilling adventure story about buried treasure, a manhunt, and a woman determined to make a new life for herself in the old west. It's the 19th century on the Gulf Coast, a time of opportunity and lawlessness. After escaping the Texas brothel where she'd been a virtual prisoner, Lucinda Carter heads for Middle Bayou to meet her lover, who has a plan to make them both rich, chasing rumors of a pirate's buried treasure.

Meanwhile, Nate Cannon, a young Texas policeman with a pure heart and a strong sense of justice, is on the hunt for a ruthless killer named McGill who has claimed the lives of men, women, and even children across the frontier.

Who - if anyone - will survive when their paths finally cross? As Lucinda and Nate's stories converge, guns are drawn, debts are paid, and Kathleen Kent delivers an unforgettable portrait of a woman who will stop at nothing to make a new life for herself.

Entertaining, but not as meaningful to me as her past novels. Still, I think Kent is onto a good character here, and may get quite a good following if she continues with him (and her?). SO -- I say if you like mysteries and westerns, go for it!

After The Heretic's Daughter, I doubted this author could keep up with her own reputation, yet she does. I will read anything Kathleen Kent cares to write. This is an intriguing, sometimes tense, story about family, friendship, the intrusion of evil, and redemption, all richly and compellingly portrayed.

The narrator is also stellar. She lets her voice differentiate among the speakers while imbuing them with the character and soul they deserve. She actually adds to the story in a way my own silent reading never could.

Kathleen Kent doesn't disappoint
