When Cat, a former prostitute, steps off the train in Butte, Montana, she walks right into hell. The dark smoke-filled air reeks of menace. And the stares—scorning her blue jeans, cowboy hat, and empty holster—don't help put her at ease. Still reeling from her sister's death, Cat aims to find a purpose and help those who need it find even some small measure of justice. When she reads about the mysterious death of a local prostitute, she resolves to find the truth. But the closer Cat gets to that truth, the more she realizes Butte, Montana, harbors some very dark secrets, indeed. A take-no-prisoners historical mystery about strong women, justice, and redemption.
