No Rest for the Restless

A Circle V Western

De: R. W. Stone

Narrado por: Traber Burns

The grandson of a US senator has been brazenly kidnapped out of a hotel room in St. Louis. His life has been threatened if the senator cannot raise the ransom money, an exorbitant amount that even he can’t scrape together. Ultimately, the boy’s fate falls into the hands of a select group of undercover agents known for their discretion, cleverness, and bravery - the Pinkertons.

When Allan Pinkerton realizes the confidential nature of the kidnapping, he calls in his best field agents, a group of five professionals with specialized skills and unconventional backgrounds. The team is headed up by ex-Marine Captain John McKenzie. He is to be joined by a beautiful and alluring actress and former spy during the Civil War, Alicia Faye; a clever magician and con artist, Harry Howser; a young but brilliant scientist, Jimmy Piper; and McKenzie’s Marine friend and expert hand-to-hand combat fighter Patrick Nelson.

With no clue as to whether or not the boy is still in Missouri or who the perpetrators might be, the detective team must comb the city of St. Louis in their quest for answers, including through the extensive dockyards of the shipping industry along the Mississippi River.

Great for all ages

My husband is 99 years old in march and likes all of R W Stones books but especially enjoyed this book. He would love to find another author who writes similar to Mr Stone. Keep up the good work.

The Pinks

This is an interesting tale about the Pinkerton National Detective Agency. Pinkerton’s history is extensive. At the height of its power, the Pinkerton Detective Agency was the largest private law enforcement organization in the world. They also have a darker side to their history; the labor strikes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Homestead Strike of 1892, and in the late nineteenth century Pinkertons were also hired as guards in coal, iron, and lumber disputes in Illinois, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, the Great Railroad Strike of 1877, and the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921. This story is all about rescuing the grandson of a former U.S. Army General, now a U.S. Senator.

intriguing

overall I liked this story. having Harry stomping on the floor , before it got examined ,however I didn't write the story.

The detectives looked for a woman with mole on the right side of her mouth.

The detectives had their work cut out for them, tracing the woman to the boy with a ransom.They found the child, got it back to its mother and the case was successfully resolved.
