Publisher's summary

In 1934, 16-year-old Weldon Avery Holland confronts the notorious outlaws Bonnie and Clyde, resulting with Weldon firing a gun, unsure whether it hit its mark.

Ten years later Second Lieutenant Weldon Holland barely survives the Battle of the Bulge, in the process saving the lives of Hershel Pine and a young prisoner of war, Rosita Lowenstein - a woman who holds the same romantic power over him as the beautiful Bonnie Parker.

Critic reviews

"A fantastic novelist...so far above the prevailing standards of crime fiction that it is pointless to make the comparison." ( Daily Express)

James Lee Burke writes enthralling epics.

James Lee Burke writes enthralling epics, describing American life before and after WW11 with meticulous detail and Will Patton is one of only a few narrators who could do these books justice. In the style of the Golden Oldies, when blockbuster movies did not rely on stunts and special effects and bad language was not common or necessary, James Lee Burke's tales feature, in no particular order, heroism, murder, mystery, suspense, love, romance, betrayal. A top tier effort and nothing short of a Classic.
