Publisher's Summary:

When a world-renowned forensic anthropologist journeys to Winchester, Wyoming, to examine the long-dead remains of a woman who claimed to be Etta Place - the Old West's most mysterious and legendary female outlaw - he's not expecting to find a man's headless corpse in her crypt. The grisly discovery plunges him and Jefferson Morgan - the editor of the weekly Winchester Bullet - into a shadowy and deadly world of satellite-savvy highway pirates, rural meth labs, computer hackers, and old-fashioned corruption. And they might not survive the fall.

Amazing!

Absolutely enjoyed reading from beginning to end! The story really kept you guessing who were the good one and bad ones. Fell in love with characters and wish the story never ended. Thank you for a great mystery read!

Very good mystery

What he finds is a headless corpse in her coffin that belongs to an unknown male, He teams up with Morgan who is a writer for the local newspaper. What follows next will have you on the edge of your seat as you go through the twists & turns to solve the mystery. A great read

Wonderful read! A beautifully written mystery, full of small-town charm, exciting twists and compelling characters

Wonderful read! A beautifully written mystery, full of small-town charm that I can well appreciate, exciting twists and compelling characters.

I loved how easily the author kindled investment in the lives and happenings of these fictional characters. Although it started off a tiny bit slow for me, it felt like one minute I was at 25% and then I looked again and it was 86%. The storyline seriously ramped up at that point. Enough that I actually uttered aloud "WHOA!" - totally forgetting where I was and that no-one else knew what all the excitement was about. Once that happened it was pretty much impossible to put down.

Even though this is the second in the series, I believe it can be read as a stand-alone. I didn't read the first one and didn't find I was lost at all. That said, I will be adding the first one in the series to my To-Be-Read list/mountain and following the author's future work.

An unexpected hero with no super powers

Gingerly I walked through this book but it was great... not a blood at any cost like of story, OK some blood and at great cost to some of the bad guys and a couple of good guys. Why kill off the college students? Not sure. Or the poor truck driver at the beginning. Not sure. Just finished up last night and I'm not going on any road trips for a while. Yes, it was that good.

Nicely-written, well-plotted

This small-town thriller, set in Winchester, Wyoming, follows a twisting path through truck stop killers, late-night gunfire, and a long-dead woman who may just have been Etta Place, of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid fame... the writing is spare, but evocative, and the dialog convincing. I may have to go back and read the first in the series, having found it through this entry!
