The Iron Trail

By: Stabenow, Dana

The exciting second novel in the Harvey Girls Mysteries. Undercover Pinkerton agent Clare must find a killer in an 1890s frontier town.

June, 1890. Clare Wright, Pinkerton agent, is investigating an elaborate plot in New Mexico. Her cover job is working as a waitress at one of Fred Harvey's world-famous hotels.

Harvey's newest establishment is opening near the US Army's Fort Union: a hotbed of dissatisfaction. When Clare and her colleague Florence discover the body of a missing girl, Clare organises an autopsy by the army surgeon, but the results raise more questions than answers.

And this is no time for uncertainty. Fort Union officers, Mexican grandees, and unscrupulous businessmen are all seeking something... and if Clare's hunch is right, that something could involve murder, mutiny, and even treason.

With deadly intrigues underway and gunmen keen to take potshots at stray travellers, Clare has never been more glad of her trusty derringer.

A gripping historical mystery from the New York Times bestselling author of the Kate Shugak series.
