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. <p/> 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. <p/> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[A] mastery of historical fiction.--<i><b>Diana Andro, The Fort Worth Star-Telegram</b></i><br><br>[A] rollicking tale.--<i><b>Steve Bennett, San Antonio Express-News</b></i><br><br>A cinematic but refreshingly unsentimental take on the classic Western, starring a woman who is no romantic heroine, but a definite survivor.--<i><b>Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)</b></i><br><br>PRAISE FOR <i>THE OUTCASTS: <p/></i>THE OUTCASTS is well-written, tightly plotted and full of ingenious twists....Like the rotgut poured at some dusty Old West saloon, this tale has a wicked kick to it.--<i><b>Shawna Seed, Dallas Morning News</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kathleen Kent</b> is the author of the Edgar Award-nominated The Dime, as well as the bestselling historical novels <i>The Heretic's Daughter</i>, <i>The Traitor's Wife</i>, and <i>The Outcasts</i>.
