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 GulfCoast, 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.
