Críticas:
Raw, honest and completely captivating -- Anita Shreve A haunting, powerful novel...absolutely compelling -- Daily Mail An incredibly passionate and convincing novel -- Daily Express 'The Traitor's Wife by Kathleen Kent imagines the horrors of the past with unflinching exactitude, sparing little in her descriptions, whether of fighting mastiffs or the hell of a below-decks Atlantic crossing... The narrative is a little fractured, but is more than made up for by compelling characterisation and Kent's superb evocation of a brutal existence. It is up there with the best historical novels' -- The Sunday Times
Reseña del editor:
It's the nineteenth century on the Gulf Coast of Texas, a time of opportunity and lawlessness. After escaping the brothel where she's been a virtual prisoner, Lucinda Carter heads for Middle Bayou to meet her lover - a man as charismatic as he is ruthless - who has a plan to make them both rich, chasing age-old rumours of buried treasure. Meanwhile, Nate Cannon, a newly sworn-in Texas policeman with a pure heart and a strong sense of justice, has joined two veteran hunters on the trail of the notorious William McGill, a killer who has dispassionately claimed the lives of men, women and children across the frontier. Who - if anyone - will survive when their paths finally cross? THE OUTCASTS is a richly compelling epic about a group of men who have made a living out of violence, and of a woman who will stop at nothing to make a new life for herself.
