Denver Doll (1888: Dime Novels)

By Edward L. Wheeler

Originally published in 1882, Denver Doll is the first American female detective novel. In this Western mystery, the sleuth Denver Doll and her gang-Walt, Yakie, and Chug-search for a kidnapped child and her murdered mother in the prosperous mining town of Shining Bar, where the whisky runs strong and no one is quite who they seem. While the handsome scrapper Yankee Eisler seeks vengeance for his lost family and the roguish highwayman John McParland terrorizes the town's inhabitants, Doll must gamble and gender-bend her way to truth. If she fails, a huge fortune, the child's life, and the very fate of Shining Bar itself are at stake.
