A Bandit, a Baptist, and the Texas Badlands
Henry Midnight is no ordinary bandit. He’s educated, spiritual, and hilariously irreverent. He robs the rich, gives generously to the Jesuits, and believes the Hopi legends of Tawa and Spider Grandmother. Mostly.
Caleb McRae is a God-fearing Texas Ranger, hell-bent on bringing the wicked to justice. His greatest hope is that he can take Henry Midnight to the gallows, and more importantly, lead him to Christ, lest he burn forever in the flames of perdition.
Naturally, each man is exactly what the other man needs. Nobody is more amused than Henry Midnight.
Nobody is more appalled than Caleb McRae.

Jess Lederman writes historical literary fiction, including the award-winning novels Hearts Set Free and The Ballad of Midnight and McRae. When he's not writing or chasing his young son around, he can usually be found at the piano, playing Chopin and Brahms for his wife.
Jess writes, "People who know that my stories contain autobiographical elements (and include historical characters) sometimes ask me, 'How much of what you write is true?’ And I answer, 'Perhaps twenty percent—and the rest is even more true!' What drives my writing is the desire to convey truths that transform lives. Truths of the heart."
