Experimental Sagebrush Morality

Novel. 1875 Wyoming. A female Pinkerton Agent/Human Behaviorist, Olivia Ponath, with a secret past, rescues then blackmails three conscience-plagued outlaws who are horrible at being ‘bad’ or vicious. The first ‘volunteer’ is Eli Jackson, disowned brother of a famous ex-Confederate train robbers who he seeks to live up to. The second is Lorena Parker, seductive hooker who is a master at finding out dirt about her clients with her sexual charms, but is reluctant to use it against them. The third is Pierre McGraw, who is a well known bounty hunter as well as a hunted gun for hire, who in reality is a Pacifist who, thus far, has never killed a man. Olivia coaches her team in various Missions to destroy a very interconnected, and often legal, cartel headed by a Hardass Holmes, who was responsible for Olivia becoming a successful experimental criminologist, and who has more honor and compassion than Olivia ever did, so far anyway.
