The Lizzie Borden Chronicles

Pinkerton agent Charles Siringo and stage star Nance O'Keefe, who grows more desperate in her search for her missing brother, have been outplayed by Lizzie. But now they join forces against her. The sleazy new boss of Fall River's underworld, Skipjack, gleefully exploits a lethal secret Lizzie wants hidden. A haughty neighbor incites Lizzie's wrath by mistreating her dog. Worst of all, a romance threatens to come between Lizzie and her beloved her sister, Emma. When Nance uses her wiles to get Skipjack to spill his guts, her frenzied revenge against Lizzie spills blood... just not the blood Nance intended. Meantime, Lizzie mops up her animal-abusing neighbor with a spill of a different sort.

Months after her showdown with Charles Siringo, Lizzie Borden has remade herself as a school teacher with a new name in a little town far from Fall River. Seeking peace in anonymity, she's here to be near her sister, Emma, whose reaction to ghastly events of the past has put her in an asylum, under the care of an egotistical but renowned doctor. Lizzie's unaware that two famed gunslingers, Bat Masterson and Tom Horn, are hunting her, driven to learn the fate of their friend, Siringo. When Lizzie helps a victimized student get justice Lizzie-style, she jeopardizes her cover. Worse, Emma makes a startling choice that leaves Lizzie devastated.

Lizzie races to Boston, where Emma has taken refuge in the luxurious home of Adele Trotwood and family, with whom she has a very special connection. Stunned to find a vastly different Emma than the cherished sister she knew, Lizzie unwittingly leads Bat Masterson and Tom Horn directly into their path. However, the Trotwood family proves to be more than your average Boston Brahmins, posing an unexpected challenge to Bat and Tom. Trying to ease tensions, Emma makes an impetuous sacrifice. Lizzie plumbs the depths of her cunning to set out to ambush the gunslingers, and somehow pull the sister she dearly loves back from the abyss.
