Description
“All’s Fair...”, first published in 1937, is a fast-paced novel set in a hard-bitten mining town ruled by those with money and their corrupt politicians. A young labor leader, Mac, comes to the town determined to solve the murder of a fellow organizer and to end the stranglehold of the current bosses. A romance develops between Mac and Sue, the daughter of a mineowner. The situation becomes desperate when the miners’ strike and Sue disappears, and Mac vows to find her. Richard Wormser (1908-1977) was a prolific American author of pulp fiction, detective fiction, westerns, and screenplays. Disguised as a mine owner’s son, young Mac is invited into the home of the Alastairs, Ware County’s ruling family, and nearly forgets his mission when Sue Alastair’s blue eyes speak in an age-old language. But the miners’ strike, Sue disappears, and Mac fights daringly. From the opening of the book to its surprising climax Richard Wormser carries his readers at a breathless pace.
