Matt Ansaro, a Pinkerton detective, is sent undercover to Eckhart Mines, the mining town he grew up in and hoped never to return to. His mission is to scope out any union activity in the mines, and try to prevent the devastating union riots spreading across the country from entering his hometown. However, his loyalty to both his job and his family are pushed to the limits when his own uncle joins the union.
Matt's emotions are further tried when he meets Samantha, a well-to-do, headstrong young suffragette with a general distrust of men. Despite their clashing beliefs, they form a bond. But having been burnt before, can either of them learn to love?
This book was a fantastic and engaging read that takes you back in time to the days of prohibition, with ripples from the Great War still being felt. The atmosphere of the book is immersive, pulling you in and showing you a glimpse into the life of a 1920's mining town. I really enjoyed it, and highly recommend it to fans of historical fiction anywhere. It does contain some violence and mature material, including one character who is a prostitute, so I would not suggest it for children 13 and under. However, there is nothing overly graphic, and the cussing is kept to a minimum, which I appreciated. Five stars.… (mehr)
