About this eBook

The road to redemption has never been so fierce.

Atticus Riot wants to leave his tortured past behind, but his partner’s murder haunts his every step. Before he can find peace, the gunfighter turned detective needs to find the killer. But then a missing heiress draws him into a conspiracy of lies.

A young woman’s life is at stake, so why won’t her rich, older husband tell the whole truth about her disappearance?

The clock is ticking and Riot must unravel a twisted trail before an innocent life is lost. But deceit runs deeper than he imagined, and he’s soon thrown into the path of a fiercely independent woman who’s his match in every way. 

A suspenseful Victorian mystery with a strong female lead and a romantic detective duo in San Francisco’s lawless Barbary Coast. Fans of Laurie R. King, Deanna Raybourn, and C.S. Harris will love this thrilling historical mystery series.

Ratings and reviews

From a slow start, this fascinating, historically rich book draws you in and keeps you reading. It is an intellectual gambit, and you have to enjoy the historical details & the characters to find it engaging. Well worth writing if you like history, empowered women, brooding detectives, and are willing to be tempted vy the Barbary Coast & a corrupt San Francisco of 1900.

OK for a "Free" book! But if it wasn't Free, I most probably wouldn't Buy this type of Book for myself. But I might Buy it for a reasonable price & "Gift" it to someone else - who I'd know enjoy it, moreso than I would. Anyway 😶

Lots of twists and turns. Delightful.
