Slay in Character

A Colorado writers' retreat visits an Old West tourist trap-and gets caught in a deadly plot-in this mystery by the New York Times-bestselling author.

Cat and the members of her writers' retreat have just arrived in Outlaw, Colorado, an "Old West" tourist town complete with inhabitants dressed up as famous figures from history. But this authentic slice of Americana takes a murderous turn when a college student masquerading as a nineteenth-century saloon girl becomes history.

Was she the killer's intended target? Or did she take a hit meant for someone else? With a colorful cast of suspects to choose from-including some notorious gunslingers and the sleazy town founders-Cat must unhorse the culprit before a real-life ghost story is given a killer twist.
