FOR FANS OF: Cormac McCarthy, Larry McMurtry, and Charles Frazier 1863. Civil War rages in the East. An unclaimed wealth of natural resources beckons prospectors to the West. Far from and between it all, a gunman stalks the territories on a divine mission to kill American settlers. He would elude governors and armies, bounty hunters and posses, until his demise at the climax of a fierce high country manhunt. By then, Felipe Espinosa had claimed more than thirty lives to quietly become one of the nation's first serial killers and foreign terrorists. A sweeping historical epic, The Vendetta of Felipe Espinosa is a saga of Confederate guerillas, a severe order of Catholic laymen, vigilante miners, and men and women looking for peace in a violent country.
