Outrage at Blanco: An Ellie Taine Thriller

Criderâ€™s prose slices through conventions and expectations,â€ â€“Booklist

OUTRAGE AT BLANCO

Itâ€™s True Grit meets Gran Torino in a blazingly original crime novel from Bill Crider, an Edgar and Shamus finalist and a two-time winner of the Anthony Award

On a bloody day in 1887, death came to Blanco, Texas.

Before the sun went down, the livery stable was torched, an outlaw gang robbed the bank, two men were killed, and young newlywed Ellie Taine was raped. One of the dead was the man who planned the robbery â€“ the son of dying, legendary Texas Ranger Jonathan Crossland â€“ the other was Ellieâ€™s husband, an innocent bystander.

The dead donâ€™t know fear.

Ellie is dead inside. She takes a gun and rides out after the desperadoes, cold-blooded and fearless, determined to kill the men who ruined her life. Sheâ€™s joined by Jonathan Crossland, who only has days left to liveâ€¦ but would rather die in his saddle making amends for his son than rot in his bed. Together, Ellie and Jonathan set out on a mission of vengeance and justice, one that neither of them expects nor hopes to survive.

â€œIn the hands of Bill Crider, noir seems as atmospheric and doomful as ever,â€ Publisherâ€™s Weekly
