Barbara Davies
Zee Brodie can't seem to walk down the street without being reminded of her days as the notorious outlaw, Hellcat. Never mind that she paid her dues in Yuma prison and is now the Deputy Sheriff of Cochise County.
Life for an outlaw-turned-deputy is never going to be tranquil. When Zee and her prisoner seek shelter in the home of the enchanting Miss Christie Hayes, the encounter imperils both Zee's life and her heart.
"Davies has given us easily likeable characters in Christie and Zee. Even Zee’s darker side proves to be only a mask covering a soft, loving woman. There are a host of characters that work at the whorehouse, drink and gamble at the saloon and end up in Deputy Brodie’s jail. These folks also entertain and enthrall us."
