We also learn some very true facts about what happens to some of these Pinkerton spies, and others who are actual people who helped the cause. Be sure to read the great author's notes at the end of this book, she did a lot of research! I received this book through Net Galley and the Publisher Atria Books, and was not required to give a positive review. ( ) alekee | Feb 22, 2024 | Ms. Campisi has given us a compelling and interesting story, all based in historical fact. She brings Kate Warne alive through her rich character building and the use of Kate as narrator. The scene settings are cinematic and transporting. The tension hold steadily throughout the story. If well written historical fiction with a strong female protagonist appeals, then this may well be the book for you. I am grateful to Atria Books for having provided a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Their generosity, however, has not influenced this review - the words of which are mine alone.

"The author of the "magnificent...complex, vivid" (New York Journal of Books) Sin Eater returns with a rousing and propulsive novel based on the astonishing true story of the first female Pinkerton detective whose next assignment could end the Civil War. Kate Warner is many things: the country's first female detective, a Pinkerton agent, and a union spy. It's August 1863, and her latest assignment could finally end the bloody war and bring the fractured United States together again. All she has to do is win the trust of her captive: Confederate spy and socialite Rose Greenhow. But with Rose well aware of Kate's working-class background and belief in abolitionism, it seems an impossible task. Worst, Kate has secrets that make her vulnerable, such as her forbidden love affair with a colleague. With time running out, Kate faces not only the moral and political divides between herself and Rose but also the ones she made in her own heart and life. Can she make the difficult decision over which divides are worth crossing? Or will she fail the most important assignment of her career in this spellbinding and moving new novel from Megan Campisi?"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
