In the latest book to feature the fabulous real life Kopp sisters, the eldest of whom was the first female Under Sheriff in the United States, World War I is in full swing and the sisters immediately get roped into quite a few wartime intrigues. --Crimereads This is an excellent addition to this well written and researched historical series and is highly recommended.

The sisters' personalities flower under Stewart's pen. --New York Times Book Review Zippy, winsome . . . [A] cinematic story of the [Kopps], the siege instigated by their powerful enemy, and their brave efforts in the face of real violence. --Los Angeles Times Stewart gives us three sisters whose bond--scratchy and well-worn but stronger for it--is unspoken but effortless. --NPR Fans of strong female characters will find their new favorite heroine in Constance Kopp. --Cosmopolitan A smart, romping adventure, featuring some of the most memorable and powerful female characters I've seen in print for a long time. I loved every page as I followed the Kopp sisters through a too-good-to-be-true (but mostly true!) tale of violence, courage, stubbornness, and resourcefulness. --Elizabeth Gilbert --No Source
