Description
A gripping historical novel of love and vengeance starring Harry Longbaugh, better known as the Sundance Kid.
Legend has it that bank robber Harry Longbaugh and his partner Robert Parker were killed in a shootout in Bolivia. That was the supposed end of the Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy.
Sundance tells a different story. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Longbaugh is very much alive, though serving in a Wyoming prison under an alias.
When he is released in 1913, Longbaugh reenters a changed world. Horses are being replaced by automobiles. Gas lamps are giving way to electric lights. Workers fight for safety, and women for the vote. What hasn’t changed are Longbaugh’s ingenuity, his deadly aim, and his love for his wife, Etta Place.
It’s been two years since Etta stopped visiting him, and, determined to find her, Longbaugh follows her trail to New York City. Confounded by the city’s immensity, energy, chaos, and crowds, he learns that his wife was very different from the woman he thought he knew. Longbaugh finds himself in a tense game of cat and mouse, racing against time before the legend of the Sundance Kid catches up to destroy him. 
By turns suspenseful, rollicking, and poignant, Sundance is the story of a man dogged by his own past, seeking his true place in this new world.

        Starred review from April 1, 2014
        Fuller (Sweetsmoke, 2008) rides into riotous Western outlaw history trailing the Sundance Kid as he searches for Etta Place, his wife. In 1913, the legend exists: Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were shot dead in Bolivia. If Butch molders in a grave, the Kid's alive, walking out of Rawlins Penitentiary, where he's served 12 years as Harry Alonzo. He wants only one thing--to find his wife, Etta, who wrote regularly until two years ago, when her letters stopped. Harry has just enough time to enjoy a whiskey before a shadow falls from the past--the revenge-minded son of a sheriff he once humiliated. Harry kills the guy in self-defense, but the gunfight means life on the run once again, pursued by a bungling posse and then by crafty ex-Pinkerton Charlie Siringo. In a powerfully nuanced love story, Harry is intent on finding Etta: "The special hold she had on him returned in a rush of thrill and melancholy, and his cheeks burned." The trail leads to a burgeoning New York City, where Etta, a settlement-house worker, has run afoul of the Black Hand, a group of Italian gangsters, and the clues to her whereabouts have become a "trail of crumbs that led to the edge of the abyss." The dialogue is marvelous, with an air of eavesdropping on real conversations, and the Kid strides the pages as you would have him: wily and wise, laconic and patient, hard-edged and deadly when pushed. Other characters are perfectly carved to fit the tale: Abby, a rooming-house manager, and her husband, Robert, subway sandhog; Hightower, wry and ruthless Black Hand enforcer; and Han Fei, a street urchin who becomes Harry's guide to the city. Taking in the Titanic and the Triangle shirtwaist factory, opium dens and warmongering profiteers, the book leads to a denouement at the fabled 1913 Armory Show. This is speculative historical fiction of extraordinary intelligence and descriptive power.

        April 15, 2014
        In 1913, Harry Longbaugh, aka the Sundance Kid, gets out of prison in Wyoming and goes looking for the love of his life, Etta Place. No, he didn't die in Bolivia, and Sundance is Fuller's speculation on what might have happened. Sundance was devoted to Etta and visited her regularly while she lived. Then, two years earlier, she moved to New York City, and her letters mysteriously stopped. Sundance digs up old loot from a train robbery to fund his search and turns New York upside down. Etta left a curious trail, weaving among feminists, anarchists, and Wobbliesand more unsavory types as well. Sundance deduces that she fears for her life and is leaving a coded trail. As an alternative history, the novel isn't convincing; Sundance just seems too gentlemanly, smart, and cultured. However, as a man looking for a lost wife in early-twentieth-century New York, Fuller's version of Sundance is compelling. And Fuller's research, encompassing the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, early feminism, and even New York's amazing subways, is exemplary.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2014, American Library Association.)
