Devil's Den

Someone is killing elderly Civil War veterans and fledgling G-Man Seth Armitage must figure out who and why, battling the corrupt Harding Administration's obstructions and the inscrutable machinations of the ambitious young J. Egar Hoover along the way. A fast-moving and compelling historical thriller featuring meticulously researched real-life characters, Devil's Den brings to life that fascinating and emotionally rich period between WWI and WWII in America. 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.
