Only at the age of 19, she lives by herself in the wide open spaces of the Dakota territories; raising chickens, horses, and Holstein cows all by herself. Her parents? Her father, the Sheriff, busies himself with his work. Her mother? Viciously murdered when Maggie was only six years old, right in front of her own innocent eyes. The secret murder is what inspires the courageous Maggie to become the infamous criminal 'The Ghost', created by injustice, and determined to be face-to-face Mexican standoff style with her mother's murderer once again. The infamous 'Ghost' is exactly what brings bounty hunter, Ethan Hill to Sheriff McNeily's town. 'The Ghost' is known for its' precise skill of escaping a scene without being seen or leaving evidence he or she was even there. Will it be just another easy pay day for Ethan Hill or will he be another victim of the wickedly smart 'Ghost'? Also known as the drop dead gorgeous Maggie McNeily.
