A desperate woman fleeing for her life holds a cold-blooded murderer at gunpoint and says, "Take me with you."
Her bid for freedom and the bitter outlaw's quest for vengeance combine in a tale of grand passion and wild adventure, to become the stuff of legend, the legend of "La Desperada."
Originally titled What Wild Ecstasy [Kensington Books],this tale captivated readers and inspired the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences/Nicholl Award-winning screenplay, "Redemption."
