The Silk Train Murder: A John Granville & Emily Turner Historical Mystery - Paperback

by Sharon Rowse (Author)

It's 1899, and when his best friend is arrested for the murder of a notorious gangster, gentleman adventurer John Granville is determined to hunt down the real killer.

To save his friend, Granville must dive into the seedy side of the city--the burlesque halls, gambling joints, and opium dens that line reeking mudflats. He finds allies along the way, including Emily Turner, the emancipated daughter of a very Victorian father. But with a fortune in Klondike gold and Chinese silk at stake, no-one is safe.

Set on the Northwest Coast during the Klondike Era--when Vancouver, Seattle and San Francisco were gateways for Klondike gold and Chinese silk, The Silk Train Murder features strong characters and a well-researched and lively story.
