Eleanor Dumont earned the famous nickname “Madame Moustache” during her early life as the most well-known of all blackjack dealers in American pioneer days. One of the bravest and most adventurous women of her time, she became the first female owner of a gambling hall in U.S. history.
Her looks and French Creole charm were legendary. So were her people management skills. She kept rowdy miners, outlaws, and prostitutes under control with the help of a loaded gun, if necessary.
Follow her unique and tragic life from the pinnacle of success to betrayal and, yes, even murder. Join Madame Moustache on her wild ride through the California Gold Rush with the first book of a three-book series. Learn why she was both a pioneer character and a legend.

After reading The Forbidden One, and closed the last page, I realized that I was left with the feeling of having read a great adventure. The characters in the book had experienced so much living their lives in the old west 1880s town of Tombstone Arizona. It was great the way the story unfolded as the words gave me a sense of the scenes having actually happened.
This is a well written story of intrigue, action, betrayal and love. The author skillfully takes the reader back to the 1800's in the lawless town of Tombstone, AZ. Highly recommend!
Definitely her best book yet! One of the best books about Tombstone I have ever read. Extremely well researched, makes you feel as if you were living in Tombstone back in that time. How she knows so much about Tombstone while only spending a few weeks a year there I don't know, but I'm glad she does as she really puts her heart into this book, you would think you were reading a Nelson DeMille thriller.
Really well written about tombstone. It gives a glimpse of this historic place in the heart of a novel. Manuela Schneider has a gift of being a superb author. Enjoy!
This is the first book of hers that I read. I am not a reader but this one I finished quickly so I could hurry up and get on to more of her books.
This one was great. Love her.
A wonderful story that is an intertwining of historical fact and fiction as it blends romance with a tale from the Old West. Check out her collection of books!
This book will give you a glimpse into the rough and rowdy past of the “Town Too Tough To Die”. The story kept my interest alive, from the first to the very last page, it is well worth reading! Great job, Manuela!
