Blood Tracks (American Historical Mysteries)

Description:

BLOOD TRACKS In 1905 Pittsburgh, railroadmen and industrialists looked to a rich and rosy future...uncaring and unaware of discontent. Detective Milo Kachigan is trapped in the mire of corruption—forced to collect protection money from bars and brothels, while yearning to do some honest police work. The chance comes when he hears of a murder case in which the victim was an engineer for the Westinghouse company. He can't wait to catch the culprit...until he learns that his friend, social worker Helen Sorby, may be involved. An anarchist who lives in Helen's settlement house may be the crucial link—and the railroads may provide the route to a solution. But in an atmosphere of mistrust and unrest, the quest for justice may be explosive...
