A novel of the outlaw Jesse James weaves actual characters and events into a fictional narrative centered on one of America's most enduring myths.

"Barry's language has believable period tang, his re-creation of events is precise and convincing, and his perceptions...are served up with vigor. A gripping narrative and impressive debut."
