The Legendary Scarlett and Browne [Hardcover]

The death-defying conclusion to the  audacious,   razor-sharp, and raucous  exploits of the notorious outlaws Scarlett and Browne from the bestselling author of Lockwood & Co., Jonathan Stroud.

Throughout their lawless careers, Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne have gotten out of trouble by shooting first, then running away. Now that's no longer an option.
