Sarah Gailey
It’s not a crime if you don’t get caught...
USA Today bestselling author Sarah Gailey returns to the neo-Western world of Upright Women Wanted with an explosive new story about the means and methods of undermining the machine of fascism.
Gunslinger Fletch and her ragtag crew of outlaws keep busy in the Southwest territory by dropping deputies and liberating their horses. As the Administration’s tyranny stretches across the country, each job proves riskier than the last—just how Fletch likes it.
When the team is hired to pull off an elaborate and dangerous train heist of military materials, it could mean decades of hard labor—or death—if things go sideways. But Fletch never misses her mark, and this could be the score of a lifetime.
Principles are a liability, and as a rule, Fletch and her team are only there for the income, not the outcome. But as the plan evolves, they must soon reckon with questions of purpose. Will they join a greater resistance working covertly against the regime, or pursue the ultimate payday?
