Marble Creek

After surviving the Everett, Washington, Massacre in November 1916, veteran Pinkerton detective Robert Jamieson joins the Army’s fledgling Military Intelligence Division. Instead of being sent to France in 1917, he’s assigned back to the Pacific Northwest, ordered to go undercover to track down Irish radical Malachi O'Neill, suspected in a scheme to transport guns from Irish-dominated Butte, Montana, to Ireland. Find O'Neill, find the guns and forestall unrest in Ireland that would weaken America’s ally, Great Britain. Locating O'Neill, he partners him in a remote logging camp on Marble Creek in north Idaho. Likeable, but deadly, O'Neill has shifted his loyalty from the disintegrating Industrial Workers of the World, the Wobblies, to an incipient Irish rebellion. A young prostitute helps one man to the detriment of the other. And the woman who saved Jamieson’s life on a dark street in Seattle? Their paths are fated to cross again.
