In the Shadow of Death Alley: A Novel of Emmett Dalton

By Rebecca Rockwell

Book Overview

At seventeen, Emmett Dalton leaves his life as a cowboy behind to follow two of his older brothers into law enforcement in untamed Indian Territory during the winter of 1889. Circumstances change, however, and by the age of nineteen Emmett has become a full-fledged member of one of the wests most notorious and most feared outlaw gangs--the Dalton Gang. Torn between his adoration of his brother Bob, the gangs leader, and his moral objections to the gangs activities, Emmett eventually finds himself a key participant in one of the most infamous acts in the history of the Old West: the Dalton Gangs daring double bank robbery in Coffeyville, Kansas on October 5, 1892. Based upon historical fact, In The Shadow of Death Alley examines the inner-workings of the Dalton Gang from the point of view of its youngest member--and its sole survivor.
