Produktbeschreibung

In the fall of 1902, Portland's trestle bridges linking parts of the city across ravines and bog lands began collapsing. Labor union operative, Sage Adair, is observing a carpenter's union strike line. As the rain falls and the carpenters march for an eight hour day, the situation turns life threatening when the lumber mill owner's goons, safely atop huge horses and carrying long staves, ride down on the peaceful picketers.

Within days the situation becomes dire when the mill owner's body is discovered within the charred remains of the company offices. All fingers point to the union president who is soon behind bars in Portland's dank basement jail. Sage has no choice but to embark on the mission of proving the man innocent. As the story unwinds, the falling trestles become key to solving the murder. As does the unlikely assistance of Portland's iconic ragpicker poet.

This exciting tale is crafted around the true history of Portland's falling trestle bridges, municipal corruption, and the city's very real ragpicker poet.

Autorenporträt

Author Biography

Author Susan Stoner, writing as S.L. Stoner, is a native Oregonian who was a labor union lawyer for many years. Like that of her series hero, Sage Adair, Stoner's life has tended toward the adventurous. She's worked in skid road bars, Las Vegas casinos, free clinics, as a prisoners' advocate, psychology center videographer and federal judge's intern. Besides living in Portland, Oregon, Susan has also lived in a forest lean-to, a Sikh home in Singapore, alongside an alligator-infested Louisiana bayou, inside a sweltering Las Vegas tent, in a camper atop a '65 International pick-up truck as well as in a variety of more traditional Houston, Texas, abodes. She was a participant in Portland's original neighborhood movement and has since been involved in citizen activism, like filing and winning a lawsuit to preserve Portland's soon-to-be destroyed historical open reservoirs (one of those "win the battle, lose the war" experiences). She lives with her husband and two dogs in Southeast Portland when they are not traveling or hanging out in the great Cascade range forests. One of her passions is historical research, particularly that involving original source material. She is currently working on the tenth book in the award-winning Sage Adair Historical Mystery series as well as on the first book of a yet-to-be-named new series.
