About this listen

 A plot that could lose America World War I. His mentor murdered, but his life saved by a woman on a dark street in Seattle, Washington, in 1916, Pinkerton detective Robert Jamieson is later caught up in the Everett, Washington, Massacre while infiltrating the Industrial Workers of the World - the Wobblies. Accusing the Pinkerton agency of collusion, he quits to join the Army's fledgling Military Intelligence Division but, instead of being sent to France in 1917, he's assigned back to the Pacific Northwest with a mission to go undercover to track down Irish radical Malachi O'Neill, suspected in a gun-running scheme from Irish-dominated Butte, Montana, to Ireland. Find O'Neill, find the guns and forestall unrest in Ireland that would weaken America's ally, Great Britain, by forcing it to redeploy soldiers from the Western Front to Ireland, leaving America the burden of fighting Germany with insufficient troops. Locating O'Neill, Jamieson partners him in a remote logging camp on Marble Creek in north Idaho. Likeable, but deadly, O'Neill has shifted his loyalty from the disintegrating Wobblies to an incipient Irish rebellion. Fats Gerard, the complex villain of the piece, plays both sides and has an old score to settle with Jamieson. The course of the story unfolds as O'Neill plans the secret movement of guns and Jamieson dogs him , a dangerous game neither man can win until events force their hands along the Milwaukee Road railroad tracks near Marble Creek in the mountains of Idaho. A young prostitute helps one man to the detriment of the other. And the woman who saved Jamison's life in Seattle? Their paths are fated to cross again, at first in mistrust, for Addie MacLean harbors a secret that could change Jamieson's future, but later in mutual attraction, complicating Jamieson's pursuit of the Irishman. This historical detective thriller, filled with flawed, but believable characters, is set in the fomenting unrest of the Pacific Northwest during World War I. Spokane and Butte were under martial law; rights to free speech and assembly were suppressed; and the Department of Justice blessed the formation of the American Protective League, in which its secret members spied on fellow citizens for the government.
