The bestselling author of Girl Waits with Gun brings the real-life
escapades of the famous crime-fighting Kopp sisters to life in this
extraordinary novel that is "perfect for book groups" (Booklist).
Deputy sheriff Constance Kopp stands up to the "morality" laws of
1916, defending the independent young women in her prison against
dubious charges when no one else will. From the patriotic Edna
Heustis, who left home to work in a munitions factory, to the
sixteen-year-old runaway Minnie Davis, these and other publicly
shamed women who were packed off to a state-run reformatory find an
unlikely ally in Constance, who uses her authority -- and
occasionally exceeds it -- to investigate and defend them at all
costs. But it's Constance's sister Fleurette who forces her to
reckon with her own ideas of how a young woman should and shouldn't
behave. Set against the backdrop of World War I, and drawn from
true characters and events, this novel is timeless in its themes of
justice and equality, and is sure to delight fans of historical and
detective fiction alike.
