A &“ripsnorting western . . . With plenty of twists and turns—and a cameo appearance by Doc Holliday—it&’s a real…
cowgirl triumph&” (Kirkus Reviews). In 1887, twelve-year-old Eliza Yates—disguised as a boy—sets out with her faithful dog Caesar to search for her missing father. Along the way, she falls in with gentleman outlaw Calvin Featherbone. &“Together, they make their way to Tinville, Colorado, where, coincidentally, Calvin&’s father was killed by a certain Sheriff Yates. Calvin plans to avenge the murder, but he gets himself and Eliza in so much trouble with his amateurish schemes that the pair arrives in town ready to be hanged as horse thieves. Hahn&’s writing crackles like gunshot in the Ol&’ West, and Eliza and Calvin make a lovable team. The plotting is . . . tight and fast paced, and Hahn does a fine job of recreating the atmosphere of the days of cowboys and miners&” (Booklist). &“Hahn has obviously done her research, and succeeds in bringing the ambiance of the Old West to her novel. The result is a fast, funny, and entertaining adventure that&’s just the thing for fans of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.&”—School Library Journal &“An amusing comedy of errors that derives much of its humor from Calvin&’s speech and manners and Eliza&’s wry asides alluding to her true identity as a girl.&”—Kirkus ReviewsThe Work of Wolves: A Novel

This story of a horse trainer and a rich man&’s wife is &“a gorgeously written, exacting exploration of duty and…
retribution set in dusty rural South Dakota&” (Publishers Weekly). When fourteen-year-old Carson Fielding bought his first horse from Magnus Yarborough, it became clear the teenager was a better judge of horses than the rich landowner was of humans. Years later, Carson—now a skilled and respected horse trainer—grudgingly agrees to train Magnus&’s horses and teach his wife to ride. But as Carson becomes disaffected with the power-hungry Magnus, he also grows more and more attracted to the rancher&’s wife, and their relationship sets off a violent chain of events that unsettles their quiet town in South Dakota. Thrown into the drama are Earl Walks Alone, a Lakota trying to study his way out of the reservation and into college, and Willi, a German exchange student confronting his family&’s troubled history. Described by Howard Frank Mosher as &“the best western-based fiction I&’ve read since Lonesome Dove and Plainsong,&” this &“compelling&” story of love and hatred by the author of Twisted Tree offers &“fine characterizations, crisp dialogue and fully realized sense of place&” (The Denver Post). &“Kent Meyers&’s new novel is the kind of book that demands and rewards fierce loyalty. . . . I instantly fell under its spell.&” —The Christian Science Monitor
