About this ebook
“A well-written and compelling thriller” about British Secret Service agent on assignment in NYC to bring down an American nationalist organization (Sarah Ward, author of the DC Childs Mysteries).
To solve this case, only an outsider will do . . . Ingo Finch faces his biggest challenge yet.
New York, 1904—over a thousand are dead after the sinking of the General Slocum, a pleasure steamer full of German immigrants out for a day on the East River. The community is devastated, broken, in uproar.
With a populist senator preying on their grievances, a new political force is unleashed, pushing America to ally with Germany in any coming war.
Nine months later, Ingo Finch arrives in Manhattan, now an official British agent. Tasked with exposing this new movement, he is caught in a deadly game between Whitehall, Washington, Berlin . . . and the Mob.
Not everything in the Big Apple is as it seems. For Finch, completing the mission is one thing: surviving it quite another . . .
“Riveting and beautifully written.” —Alex Gerlis, author of the Richard Prince thrillers

gangsters, the-mob, historical-fiction, historical-figures, historical-places-events, historical-research, espionage, thriller, political-intrigue, noir, action, early-20th-century, NYC***** The action never stops and rarely slows down! IF is an agent for MO3, the 1904 intelligence branch for Britain, currently assigned to assist the National Bureau of Identification in NYC. There are great problems with various immigrant nationalism sects, the gangs of New York, the Mob, and something called the American Nationalism Party. Everyone is peddling heroin and violence. Despite all this, Mr. IF is woefully underprepared for this assignment but resourceful. No spoilers, but the publisher's blurb is a pretty good hook. I requested and received a free ebook copy from @Canelo_co via NetGalley. Thank you!
