Description
"A period novel about a female detective who goes undercover (occasionally as a man), to infiltrate a smuggling ring, and navigates shifting allegiances once on the inside" --
Media reviews
Breath-catching pacing, tantalizingly rough-and-tumble characters who are somehow both distasteful and deeply relatable, palpable erotic energy, and powerful storytelling make this a standout.

Alma is a cross dressing, bisexual, half-Mexican, badass woman who goes undercover in this historical fiction story set in 1887 Washington state. She lives life on the edge and with gusto and nerve in everything she does. It does contain graphic content if that is an issue for people. Otherwise

Audio, uncomfortable, awkward hard to follow with attempted character differentiation, Saskia Maarleveld narrator, maybe better with a different book
