Publisher's summary

The year 1920 comes in with a roar in this rousing and suspenseful novel by number one New York Times best-selling author Sandra Brown. Prohibition is the new law of the land, but murder, mayhem, lust, and greed are already institutions in the Moonshine Capitol of Texas.

Thatcher Hutton, a war-weary soldier on the way back to his cowboy life, jumps from a moving freight train to avoid trouble...and lands in more than he bargained for. On the day he arrives in Foley, Texas, a local woman goes missing. Thatcher, the only stranger in town, is suspected of her abduction, and worse. Standing between him and exoneration are a corrupt mayor, a crooked sheriff, a notorious cathouse madam, a sly bootlegger, feuding moonshiners...and a young widow whose soft features conceal an iron will.

What was supposed to be a fresh start for Laurel Plummer turns to tragedy. Left destitute but determined to dictate her own future, Laurel plunges into the lucrative regional industry, much to the dislike of the good ol’ boys, who have ruled supreme. Her success quickly makes her a target for cutthroat competitors, whose only code of law is reprisal. As violence erupts, Laurel and - now deputy - Thatcher find themselves on opposite sides of a moonshine war, where blood flows as freely as whiskey.

Critic reviews

“Set in 1920, this superior thriller from best seller Brown firmly anchors all the action in the plot.... Laurel and Thatcher are strong and inventive characters, and their surprising decisions and evolving relationship will keep readers engaged. Brown shows why she remains in the top rank of her field.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

“Brown doesn’t often delve into historical fiction territory, but she does here with gusto, and readers will practically taste the dusty streets of Foley and feel every rickety bump of the moonshiners’ trucks. There are shoot-outs and reformed prostitutes and a no-good hillbilly family, but none of it feels like an empty stereotype - it’s just all a lot of fun. Combined with Brown’s knack for romantic tension and page-turning suspense, this one is a winner.” (Booklist, starred review)

"A masterful storyteller." (USA Today)

Just Wonderful

Well Done!

Definitely had cliffhangers. Done well and kept engaged! Thank you for a good storyline! Thx

fabulous reading

Great book, great story and great author!! I will refer it as a must read!

Not her best.

I love many of Sandra Browns books. This one however wasn’t as enjoyable as most. I think the narrators voice for the main woman character wasn’t very nice. That made it hard to listen to the whole book. The story was OK not really a major mystery or any twists or turns.

Kept me intrigued

I loved the old setting, the characters and the subject matter. Couldn’t stop listening. Great read!!

Tender, gentle story

I enjoyed the language (no profanity) and narrator. Nothing tense, or suspense yet kept my interest throughout the hours. Enjoyed the change of pace. Try it!

great book

what an awesome story and the reader is perfect for it. Sandra Brown doesnt disappoint with this book eithet.

Great story

This was a terrific way to spend hours on a car trip. The period novel was excellent - one of the finest of Sandra Brown’s career. Action packed with great character development and lots of emotion throughout.

Good book!

I throughly enjoyed this book! I found the characters, plot and setting totally engaging

Not my favorite narrator but he grew on me...big fan of Michael Beck and Victor Slezak. Really enjoy Sandra Brown!
