A taut, thrilling adventure story about buried
treasure, a manhunt, and a woman determined to make a new
life for herself in the old west.
It's the 19th century on the Gulf Coast, a time
of opportunity and lawlessness. After escaping the Texas
brothel where she'd been a virtual prisoner, Lucinda Carter
heads for Middle Bayou to meet her lover, who has a plan to
make them both rich, chasing rumors of a pirate's buried
treasure.
Meanwhile Nate Cannon, a young Texas policeman with a pure
heart and a strong sense of justice, is on the hunt for a
ruthless killer named McGill who has claimed the lives of
men, women, and even children across the frontier. Who--if
anyone--will survive when their paths finally cross?
As Lucinda and Nate's stories converge, guns are drawn,
debts are paid, and Kathleen Kent delivers an unforgettable
portrait of a woman who will stop at nothing to make a new
life for herself.
