A gripping historical novel of love and vengeance starring Harry Longbaugh, better known as the Sundance Kid.

Legend has it that bank robber Harry Longbaugh and his partner Robert Parker were killed in a shootout in Bolivia. That was the supposed end of the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy.

Sundance tells a different story. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Longbaugh is very much alive, though serving in a Wyoming prison under an alias.

When he is released in 1913, Longbaugh reenters a changed world. Horses are being replaced by automobiles. Gas lamps are giving way to electric lights. Workers fight for safety, and women for the vote. What hasn’t changed are Longbaugh’s ingenuity, his deadly aim, and his love for his wife, Etta Place.

It’s been two years since Etta stopped visiting him, and, determined to find her, Longbaugh follows her trail to New York City. Confounded by the city’s immensity, energy, chaos, and crowds, he learns that his wife was very different from the woman he thought he knew. Longbaugh finds himself in a tense game of cat and mouse, racing against time before the legend of the Sundance Kid catches up to destroy him.

By turns suspenseful, rollicking, and poignant, Sundance is the story of a man dogged by his own past, seeking his true place in this new world.

Praise for Sundance

Praise for Sweetsmoke

"The beauty in this book lies in the writing...[the] people, places and plot turns shine as vividly here as they would on the big screen. [Fuller] creates characters complex enough for readers to pity, detest and, in some cases, even admire all at the same time."--USA Today

"Fast-paced...captivating."--The New York Times Book Review

"A suspenseful novel rich in period detail...compelling...a well-imagined and researched novel of survival and courage."--The Atlanta Journal Constitution

"David Fuller vividly and movingly describes the life of Cassius, a slave on a Virginia tobacco plantation. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, Sweetsmoke resonates with unforgettable characters and is a gripping story of loss and survival."--Robert Hicks, author of The Widow of the South

"A fascinating and gripping novel about the Civil War... A tour de force for David Fuller."--Pat Conroy, author of Beach Music and South of Broad

"An extraordinarily nuanced, privileged, and convincing view of the world of slavery during the American Civil War, and of the hearts and minds of the men and women who had to live in that world."--Madison Smartt Bell, author of All Souls' Rising and Toussaint Louverture
