It has been said of five-time Spur Award winner Loren D. Estleman that even "Louis L'Amour looks down with envy" (Kirkus Reviews). Here Estleman applies his incomparable narrative panache to this
novelization of a real-life romance that never was. Judge Roy Bean is an infamous arbiter of Old West justice. For years, he writes admiring letters to British stage actress Lillie Langtry, and she
occasionally responds. But just as they are about to meet face-to-face, fate intervenes and keeps this oddball romance from blooming.

Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Estleman, a longtime mystery and western writer, turns in an unusual sort of real-life-inspired novel…This spruced-up account of one of history’s great unconsummated relationships remains pleasurable reading from a veteran storyteller.”
—Booklist
“Rowdy Roy Bean, lovely Lillie Langtry—a fine romance with no kisses…The Estleman hallmark has always been the quality of the prose. After sixty or so books, that remains fresh, flavorful, and worth the price.”
—Kirkus Reviews
