Synopsis

Romance, family, and politics converge explosively in a suspicious murder during the Bread and Roses Strike of 1912 and threaten to engulf a 21st-century woman researching the strike. When textile workers went on strike in 1912 for better wages and working conditions, they never imagined the violence that would overwhelm them. The first person to die was Anna Lopizzo . . . and then John Rami. . . and then many others. The strikers claimed the police had killed Anna, but the police said one of the strikers shot her. Who was right? Fast forward to present-day Lawrence, Massachusetts, and Lindsey Marc, a historic mystery writer, is tracking down what really happened to Anna and the other workers. Along the way, someone gets wind of what Lindsey is researching and is threatened by what she may discover. It begins with phone calls and quickly moves to ransacking her hotel room. Can Lindsey find out the truth before something terrible happens to her?

From the Back Cover

For novelist Lindsey Taylor, the history she researches rarely stays in the past.

Ready to tackle a new novel, Lindsey follows her love for unsolved mysteries to Lawrence, Massachusetts. Anna Lopizzo’s death during the “Bread & Roses” strike of 1912 fascinates Lindsey. And there was Jenna Waverly, who supposedly had drowned in the frozen Merrimack River. Was her death really an accident or might it have been suicide? Or did someone kill Jenna?

As Lindsey tries to unravel the mysteries, someone discovers what Lindsey is researching and will do anything to prevent her from finding the truth.
