A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A taut, thrilling adventure story about buried treasure, a manhunt, and a woman determined to make a new life for herself in the old west.

It's the 19 th century on the Gulf Coast , a time of opportunity and lawlessness. After escaping the Texas brothel where she'd been a virtual prisoner, Lucinda Carter heads for Middle Bayou to meet her lover, who has a plan to make them both rich, chasing rumors of a pirate's buried treasure.

Meanwhile Nate Cannon, a young Texas policeman with a pure heart and a strong sense of justice, is on the hunt for a ruthless killer named McGill who has claimed the lives of men, women, and even children across the frontier. Who--if anyone--will survive when their paths finally cross?

As Lucinda and Nate's stories converge, guns are drawn, debts are paid, and Kathleen Kent delivers an unforgettable portrait of a woman who will stop at nothing to make a new life for herself.

Revue de presse

Raw, honest and completely captivating (Anita Shreve)

A haunting, powerful novel...absolutely compelling (Daily Mail)

An incredibly passionate and convincing novel (Daily Express)

'The Traitor's Wife by Kathleen Kent imagines the horrors of the past with unflinching exactitude, sparing little in her descriptions, whether of fighting mastiffs or the hell of a below-decks Atlantic crossing... The narrative is a little fractured, but is more than made up for by compelling characterisation and Kent's superb evocation of a brutal existence. It is up there with the best historical novels' --(The Sunday Times)
