Historical Romance - Suspense/Mystery
Date Published: Feb 2014
In 1881, the air in Chicago is rife with worker discontent, yet business titan Doyle Flanagan is hopeful for the future. He looks forward to a lifetime of peaceful bliss with Cady Delafield and leaving the wretched past behind. But his life is once again thrown into disarray when his office is vandalized and the night watchman murdered. Clues lead to a powerful organized labor movement. Targeted in the press as anti-labor and with a big rally staged next door to his offices, Doyle must uncover the culprits before his wedding plans and his livelihood go up in smoke.
Plagued by memories of four brutal deaths, school director Cady Delafield is determined to drive the recent tragedies from her mind and enjoy being courted. Although his commanding personality threatens to overshadow her, Doyle Flanagan is the most dynamic man she’s ever met. When another tragedy unfolds placing him at the center, she takes action—action that could shatter her future

ReplyDeleteThis looks like a great historical mystery/suspense. I like the plot centers around a labor movement during this time period.
DeleteI think it's interesting that you incorporated labor unions with that time period. The town I'm from, Youngstown Ohio, has a long past with labor unions. I've heard the stories over and over from older folks about how hard conditions were prior to unions. The only unfortunate thing (in my opinion) is that many in this area are so dedicated to the Democrat party for their commitment to the unions, that whenever there is a corrupt politician, everyone seems to look the other way, simply because he is a Democrat. In their world, when you have a 'D' after your name you can do no wrong'. I love the mystery aspect. I love mysteries in general! It sounds like an awesome book!! Thanks for sharing and the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is what intrigues me and has caught my eye.
