“Rain don’t worry me.”
Those are the words that outlaw Quick Maggie DeMarco insists on whenever asked. But folks who’ve met her know that rain does worry her, and it worries her a lot.
Fourteen years ago when Maggie was only six, her mother, father, and older sister were brutally murdered in the family house while she hid under the floorboards. The night of the DeMarco massacre haunts Maggie not only because of the horror she’d witnessed and the fact that she hadn’t been physically able to stop it from happening, but also because of how nasty the weather had been. Best described as tornado weather with high winds and torrential rains, a massive thunderhead had even formed, blackening the early evening sky. And till this very day, rainy weather hurls her back to that fateful night, along with all of the disturbing images that come with it.
The year is 1876, and time hasn’t dampened Maggie’s obsession with finding and killing the man who’d raped and then murdered her mother. Maggie and her brother are told that the man they’re looking for is living close to Deadwood, so they travel to the Dakota Territory from Mexico to see if the rumors are true. So the question becomes this: if they find him, will they kill him, or has fourteen years softened their thirst for vengeance?
