Slocum’s in the range war from hell! Belle Nelson killed two bounty hunters who murdered the wrong man—her husband—before the third high-tailed it. The sheriff praised Belle’s bravery, but she’s not waiting for the law to catch the one that got away. He’s a hired gun out of Texas who had no reason to think her husband was an outlaw with $500 on his head—a point she’ll emphasize before she blows him to hell. As he’s passing time in Wyoming, Slocum’s eye is caught by a pretty, pistol-packing lady. A former tomboy who rode like the wind, Belle is all growed-up—and tracking cold-blooded killers. Even if his motives are not entirely professional, Belle welcomes Slocum’s help. Neither knows what to expect. But Slocum begins to notice that his pretty companion has something hard and twisted deep inside her—something bloody and in need of watching…

The General Slocum was a passenger steamboat built in Brooklyn. She operated in the New York City area as an excursion steamer. On June 15, 1904, the General Slocum caught fire and sank in the East River of New York City. At the time of the accident she was on a chartered run carrying members of St. Mark's Evangelical Lutheran Church (German Americans from Little Germany, Manhattan) to a church picnic. An estimated 1,021 of the 1,342 people on board died. The General Slocum disaster was the New York area's worst disaster in terms of loss of life and the worst maritime disaster in the city's history. This fully illustrated book contains many rare pictures and photographs of the accident and the aftermath.
