Misfit Lil guns down a bunch of rustlers without qualm. But then two cold-eyed assassins ride in and murder horse rancher Sundown Sanders' son Jimmie. And Jimmie makes no move to run or defend himself, despite Lil's stormy ride to bring him warning. Could the devious boarding house madam Kitty Malone or the brutal gambling hall owner Flash Sam Whittaker tell the truth about Jimmie's fatal resignation? Lil both seeks an answer ... and to save her friend, the unfortunate Suey-Ling. BONUS FEATURE: "Misfit Lil's Trail of Trials" charts a history of challenges Miss Lilian Goodnight presented as the central character of a continuing series.

"Misfit Lil ... What a terrific name for a character, eh? This book belongs to an endangered species: the Western. As for the story: totally professional, as you would expect, and a lot of fun. The author knows how to do the job. Ms Lil has appeared before, and doubtless will again." - Grumpy Old Bookman, Guardian top ten blogger

"Misfit Lil isn't just a strong character, but a strongly written one, too. Chap O'Keefe hits the right balance of spirit and vulnerability, power and weakness, and humor and seriousness ... In a genre rife with male heroes, it's a pleasure to read about a female hero for a change. I look forward to going back to the beginning of the series and catching up with all of Lil's adventures." - Cullen Gallagher at Pulp Serenade

"Misfit Lil makes an engaging lead character." - Steve Myall at Western Fiction Review

"Man, that was fun, especially the explosive ending! I really like Misfit Lil." - James Reasoner, New York Times bestselling author
