1916. Seattle seethes with labor unrest and political violence when Pinkerton detective Robert Jamieson sees his mentor murdered—and survives only because a mysterious woman saves his life. An infiltrator of the Industrial Workers of the World, the Wobblies, he witnesses the bloody Everett Massacre, afterward accusing the very agency he serves of corruption. Disillusioned, Jamieson walks away from the Pinkertons to join the Army’s fledgling Military Intelligence Division.
But the war has other plans for him.
Instead of France, Jamieson is sent back to the Pacific Northwest with a mission that could alter the course of World War I: find Irish radical Malachi O’Neill, a charismatic but lethal former Wobbly suspected of being involved in a plot to run Canadian guns from Butte, Montana, to Ireland. If O’Neill and his fellow Irish succeed in arming Ireland, Britain will be forced to divert troops from the Western Front—leaving America dangerously exposed against Germany.
Partnering O’Neill at a remote logging camp on Marble Creek, Idaho, Jamieson enters a world of shifting loyalties, hidden agendas, and men hardened by the mountains. O’Neill is likable, cunning, and deadly—and he’s not working alone. Fats Gerard, a man with old grudges and new ambitions, plays both sides of the conflict, waiting for his moment to strike. As Jamieson closes in, a young prostitute chooses one man over the other, tipping the balance in unexpected ways. And when he crosses paths again with Addie MacLean, the woman who saved his life, mistrust flares—until attraction complicates everything. Addie carries an old secret that could change Jamieson’s future.
From the streets of Seattle to the martial‑law shadows of Spokane and Butte, Marble Creek plunges readers into a Pacific Northwest roiling with suppressed speech, government spies, and the birth of American intelligence work. Rich with flawed, unforgettable characters, this historical detective thriller races toward a deadly confrontation along the Milwaukee Road tracks—where two men’s missions collide, and only one can walk away.
