Everyone knows how Jesse James died. Shot in the back, in his own living room, by a man he trusted. But almost nobody knows what he was doing in the four years before that morning. He was not robbing trains. He was going to church. He was betting on horses. He was living in a rented house under a name that wasn't his, burying two infant sons under that same false name. He had everything a hunted man could want. Freedom. A family. Money. Silence. And he threw it all away on purpose. The reason why is stranger than the murder.
