Description
Enjoyable...provocative...1920s-era mystery neatly told with meticulous historical detail" "Kirkus Reviews" It's the late 1920s. Someone is killing elderly Civil War veterans: Whatever for? Troubled young G-Man Seth Armitage must figure it out, battling political corruption, the KKK and his own personal demons every step of the way. Devil's Den is a compelling historical thriller featuring meticulously researched real-life characters such as J. Edgar Hoover and Charles Lindbergh. Author Tim Ashby brings to life that fascinating and emotionally rich period between WWI and WWII in America, when the 20s were roaring out, both the Civil War and WWI still haunted living memories, and Prohibition was bootlegging its way in. For fans of Caleb Carr's "The Alienist," and such nonfiction works as Erik Larson's "Devil in the White City."
