The Wickedest Town: The Cassidy Cases

$20.95

Hell is empty, and the devils are here.

Raised by the outlaws that marked her with blood and gunpowder in a world where people live side by side with ghosts, eighteen-year-old Stella Cassidy is on a mission. When her infamous criminal father sends her to a haunted hotel to recover a stash of hidden money, she realizes she's in for more than she bargained for. As an autistic young woman, Stella masks to survive daily life. Now, she must also hide her incriminating identity from the hotel guests. Especially Jericho, the Pinkerton Detective hellbent on catching her father.

But when the maintenance man of Hotel La Muerte and member of her father's Wild Bunch gang is found murdered, Stella must enact the gang's revenge on the killer. Which means testing her social abilities and partnering up with the detective to solve the case. Stella and Jericho must trust each other despite being on opposite sides of the law and ignore the interest budding between them. After all, Stella only has so much time to catch the murderer with Jericho, unearth the money hidden under the detective's nose, and slip away before it's too late.

A new Own Voices novel from the mind of eight-time award-winning author McKenzie Catron-Pichan, brimming with her own family secrets and choice antique photos, features a twist on history, nods to Arizona folklore, and a fantastical mystery too good to put down.
