Publisher's Synopsis
Nancy Drew meets Louis L'Amour...as bestselling author Sugar Lee Ryder presents a brand new western series: Maddie Slade. It's 1903, and Maddie Slade has her father Matthew's zest for adventure and dislike for the constraints expected of a proper young lady. These traits ended up getting her expelled from Vassar, the most liberal college for young women of its time. She returns home to Helena, Montana where she opens a detective agency, rides an Indian motorcycle and carries a pair of pearl handled semi-automatic pistols. Her first case looks simple enough: a woman's husband has gone missing. But her investigation turns deadly as she encounters people willing to commit any crime in order to meet their boundless greed! It could well be that Maddie Slade's first case could also be her last!
