Girl-Waits-with-Gun
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Yowza! Stewart s debut boasts pomaded gangsters, pistol-packin dames, kidnappings, shots in the dark, and everything from Girls Gone Wrong to carrier pigeons finding their way home. You might want to stay up all night reading; you might want to lie down on your fainting couch with a cool cloth on your forehead. Either way, you ll have the time of your life. Robert Goolrick, New York Times best-selling author of A Reliable Wife
How could you not fall in love with a book about one of the first female deputy sheriffs and her sisters? Full of long-held secrets, kicked-up dust, simmering danger, and oh yes, that gun this gritty romp illuminates one of history s strongest women with a hold-your-breath panache. Caroline Leavitt, New York Times best-selling author of Pictures of You
Girl Waits with Gun is fresh, funny and utterly compelling and Constance Kopp and her sisters are not just great investigators, but completely original women. It was a blast from start to finish. Lisa Lutz, New York Times best-selling author of The Spellman Files
A smart, romping adventure, featuring some of the most memorable and powerful female characters I ve seen in print for a long time. I loved every page as I followed the Kopp sisters through a too-good-to-be-true (but mostly true!) tale of violence, courage, stubbornness, and resourcefulness. Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times best-selling author of The Signature of All Things
An irresistible and thoroughly enjoyable book, a suspenseful historical mystery spiced with marvelous characters, wit, and humor. Is it too soon to beg for a sequel? Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times best-selling author of Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule
"
Girl Waits with Gun makes excellent use of history to put a fresh spin on classic cop-and-crook types. Amy Stewart s true-life protagonist is a rough and tumble version of the early twentieth century s New Woman. She is witty, sharply drawn, and suffers no fools! Suzanne Rindell, author of The Other Typist
From the New York Times best-selling author of The Drunken Botanist comes an enthralling novel based on the forgotten true story of one of the nation s first female crime fighters.
Constance Kopp doesn t quite fit the mold. She towers over most men, has no interest in marriage or domestic affairs, and has been isolated from the world since a family secret sent her and her sisters from city to country fifteen years ago. When a powerful, ruthless factory owner runs down their buggy, a dispute over damages turns into a war of bricks, bullets, and threats as he unleashes his gang on their farm. The sheriff enlists her help, and it turns out Constance has knack for outwitting (and disarming) the criminal element that might just take her back out into the world and onto a new path in life. Quick-witted and full of madcap escapades, Girl Waits with Gun is a story about one woman rallying the courage to stand up for and grow into herself with a little help from sisters and sheriffs along the way.
Through Amy Stewart s exuberant storytelling, Constance Kopp catapults from forgotten historical anecdote to unforgettable historical fiction heroine an outsized woman not only ahead of her time but sometimes, even, ahead of ours.
