Review Quotes
"The decision to imbue the Butch Cassidy myth with even more passion and intrigue certainly would have fallen flat if not handled with care. Lucky for readers that Harmon is up to the task." --Booklist (starred review)
"The period-piece aspects of the story are well-researched and convincing. This highly entertaining novel is a treat for lovers of the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid: you can almost see Paul Newman's charming smile as Noble Salt soothes Jane's anxieties! Another fine read from Amy Harmon..."--Historical Novel Society
