REVIEWS:
The concept of a post-Civil War vengeance thriller is elevated entirely by its historical hook. Pairing a grieving Ohio banker with Kate Warne, the actual first female Pinkerton detective, provides an incredibly fresh angle. I love that the story breaks standard western tropes by moving across Tennessee battlefields, the Florida Keys, and eventually a Métis camp in Saskatchewan. Marketing this as a story where "Pinkerton's first female detective hunts ex-Union officers turned killers" is a brilliant pitch that promises something completely unique

It's a highly ambitious and sweeping project
