Between Greed and Manhood: A Historical Western Series - Paperback

by R. F. Ryan (Author)

He's spent a lifetime following orders. Now he's not so sure who the enemy is.

Finnegan Gilhooley has never questioned the Pinkerton Detective Agency. Taken in young and trained to follow orders without hesitation, blind obedience has always served him well-until now. Sent to the coal town of St. Clair, Pennsylvania, Finnegan is assigned a job he's completely unprepared for: solve the murder of a young woman.

The deeper he digs, the worse things look. Another Pinkerton's shaky testimony has condemned twenty men to hang, and the whole town wants Finnegan dead. With no real detective skills and no one to trust, he must decide whether to toe the company line or finally think for himself.

As bullets fly and secrets surface, Finnegan is forced to confront the truth about the Agency he's served his whole life-and what kind of man he wants to be.
