After robbing and pillaging a neighboring town, they soon come upon a way they think will weaken Dawson and leave and his town unprotected. But even the threat of violence against a loved-one now held hostage by the evil Walkers will not stop Dawson from doing what he knows a man with a badge and a gun must do ….

Author Ralph Cotton grew up listening to stories of the James-Younger gang, and as the years passed his fascination led him to seek the truth behind the legends. Now, in this brilliant blend of history and imagination, he offers up a fresh and gritty look at the gang through the eyes of Jeston Nash.

All the while, Jeston seeks vengeance against Daniel Zanone, of the Free Kansas Militia - the man responsible for the death of his child. In While Angels Dance, the reader will experience the events, places, and people that helped fuel the legends of these men. It is a vivid adventure tale of the outlaw West and an original view of the James-Younger gang. While Angels Dance was a candidate for the Pulitzer Prize in fiction.
