Description
In Wyoming, 1868, Pinkerton detective Abigail MacKay is on the trail of one of the most infamous criminals in the country—Nat Quinn. It’s one of the toughest cases of her challenging career, going undercover to catch an elusive thief. When in the course of her pursuit, Nat saves her life. She must reevaluate the case, especially when a new mystery unravels. Now on the trail of a killer, the two must work together to stop a vicious murderer who targets women. His burglary skills and criminal contacts dovetail together with her forensic and detection expertise to solve a complex case involving secret identities, inheritance, and brutal murder. If she’s found working with the man she’s been sent to capture, the results could mean her expulsion from the Pinkertons and imprisonment—and a murderer could continue to kill.

About the Author:
Welcome to C.A. Asbrey’s collection of everything strange, mysterious, obscure, and forgotten from the 19th century. She developed a deep interest in early forensics and detection methods working in the field. She has researched early detectives and the tools available to them for years before developing her characters. They are compelling versions of real people, all her crimes are based on fictionalized versions of real crimes, and the methods used to solve them were available to detectives at the time. She likes her mysteries twisty, complex, and intricate through a fog of history.
She is a writer of mysteries and a fan of all things Victorian and obscure, topped off with interest in early forensics, science, music, jaywalking, ordering the best meal at the table in a restaurant and dropping out of society to do whatever she wants. She enjoys an eclectic mix of the old and new, foreign and obscure, funny and dramatic, so includes these elements in her writing.
She loves finding gadgets which were invented earlier than popular wisdom accepts, especially when they involve the spying and scientific techniques of the of the past. If you are looking for historically accurate mysteries with laced with vivid characterizations, romance, and compelling plots, these are the books for you.

I don't normally read Westerns, this is absolutely incredible! Could not put it down, was disappointed that it ended! When is the next one coming out! I am in love with a Train Robber, named Nat, who would have ever thought it possible? I am thrilled with this extremely witty story! I have read a couple of very depressing books lately, if I had only known, I would have picked this up two days ago. I read it today, I can just see this on BBC! Thank you Netgalley, for allowing me to read this book early! I will pre order it, however, I want the Next one Now! Two sexy anti heroes, are the best men in town! Jake, and Nat, trailing them, is one of the first ladies, to be a Pinkerton Dectective! I absolutely love it!
I highly Recommend! Thanks! Enjoy!

I haven't read a Wild West book for many years (even though I love western films), but this book manages to invoke the lawlessness, guns, murderers and train robberies all in one fell swoop. Great characters with a female Pinkerton detective (Abigail) chasing a couple of train robbers (Nat and Jake) who turn out to be warm and caring characters. These three end up trying to solve the murder of a couple of bordello type ladies - a plot which is not so outrageous.. The author spends plenty of time ensuring that the three of them could and should work together. Plenty of humour, and the author got me very early on by using the word 'hirsute'. I am not going to spoil the end as a part 2 book is to come. If so, I am looking forward to that!
