About this ebook

Soiled Dove. The lives and loves of a prostitute in the days of the Old West, from her humble beginnings in Cork, Ireland, to the notorious Five Points area of New York, from there to the tragic last days of Custer and beyond to the lofty heights of Madam in the parlour houses of Helena, Montana.

Maddie Dubois is running, running for her life. A violent confrontation with a client sets her on a path that crosses an entire continent. Pursued at every turn by the sadistically cruel whore killer Half-Face, the young Maddie has to use every instinct at her disposal to survive. On her journey she meets such unforgettable characters as Miles O'Bannion a young lieutenant destined to ride with Custer, Josephine 'Chicago Joe' Hensley the flamboyant madam of the Red Light saloon, a murderous army deserter Sergeant Driscoll, the dogged Irish detective Finbar O'Toole, ranch owner Jared McAllister and the darkly violent man called Mordecai. Every one of them will in some way contribute to Maddie's destiny.


A violent, often bloody tale of life lived on the other side of the tracks. Soiled Dove is a heartwarming romantic novel played out in the starkest of surroundings.
