A Daughter of 'the Law'

Summary

Moonshine vapors coil like ghost-ribbons through Appalachian ravines while a federal she-wolf in silk stockings trades her city perfume for gun-oil and pine. Masquerading as a lost Sunday-school teacher, the revenue agent sketches stills on hymn-book margins, her fountain-pen bleeding evidence into the paper as copper coils drip raw corn-whiskey into charred barrels below. A bootleg prince with soot-black lashes courts her with fiddle tunes, unaware her pocket mirror hides a badge number; their first kiss tastes of sugar mash and betrayal. When revenuers torch the camp, the girl—skirts hitched, .38 snub-nosed—must choose between the letter of the Law and the anarchic pulse she hears inside her own hollow bones.
