Suspense | Historical
From the New York Times best-selling author of
The Drunken Botanist comes an enthralling novel based
on the forgotten true story of one of the nation’s first
female deputy sheriffs. Constance Kopp doesn’t quite fit the mold. She towers over
most men, has no interest in marriage or domestic affairs,
and has been isolated from the world since a family secret
sent her and her sisters into hiding fifteen years ago. One
day a belligerent and powerful silk factory owner runs down
their buggy, and a dispute over damages turns into a war of
bricks, bullets, and threats as he unleashes his gang on
their family farm. When the sheriff enlists her help in
convicting the men, Constance is forced to confront her past
and defend her family — and she does it in a way that few
women of 1914 would have dared.
