American Red: A Historical Legal Thriller
Set at the dawn of the 20th century, American Red delivers a gripping historical legal thriller based on one of America's most controversial trials. When Idaho's governor is assassinated, "Big Bill" Haywood, the powerful one-eyed boss of the Western Federation of Miners, becomes the prime suspect in a case that will captivate the nation.
A True Story of Power, Justice, and Sacrifice
This historical fiction novel brings to life the explosive clash between capitalists and labor unions during America's Great Century. Private detectives working for wealthy industrialists will stop at nothing to see Haywood hanged, while his polio-crippled wife Neva wrestles with her faith, forbidden love, and her sister's betrayal.
The legal battle draws America's most famous attorney, Clarence Darrow, to lead the defense against a philandering U.S. senator prosecuting the case. The courtroom drama unfolds across Denver, Boise, and San Francisco, with press, gunhands, and spies descending on the proceedings.
Characters Caught Between Duty and Truth
At the heart of this legal thriller are two idealists: Jack Garrett, a spy for the prosecution, and Carla Capone, working for the defense. As they risk everything to uncover the truth, they discover what they're willing to sacrifice for justice, honor, and each other.
