Call #: Science Fiction Bear.E

A genre-busting mix of steampunk, Western and thriller, with a dash of real history. The story is narrated in the distinct, first-person voice of a “seamstress” (aka saloon girl) named Karen Memery, and populated with a terrific collection of vivid and diverse characters that will keep you hooked throughout!  Together, Karen and the other employees of Madam Damnable’s high-class bordello take on a criminal mastermind who wants to take over their minds, as well as their bodies.
