Book Description
Heavy as slate, a slit of sky disappeared below the horizon as an ink-black sea swept over the bow. As the ship buffeted mountainous waves, a ghostly figure in a white nightshirt appeared, pitching toward the gunnel... Captain James slipped like an eel from his wet hands and tipped over the gunnel into the raging sea. Drowning in sorrow, Chief Mate Asa Mayhew has lost his mentor, brother, and best friend. No stranger to bereavement, he must suppress his grief to guide the ship and crew out of the storm and safely home. His inner turmoil takes place as the world is in upheaval. The year is 1915. Enormous technological changes with the invention of the automobile, airplane, and horrible new weapons of war contribute to societal changes as empires fall and a generation dies on the battlefield. Sailor is the first in a series of books about Asa Mayhew. With the United States on the brink of joining the Great War, how will he navigate the treacherous shoals? Will he continue to risk his heart, and his life, in a dangerous and painful world? Join him on his voyage into the tumultuous beginnings of a new century.

Book Description
For fans of HBO’s The Gilded Age, explore the dazzling world of America’s 19th century elite in this lush, page-turning saga… In 1881 Chicago, the idea of a female detective is virtually unheard of. But when famed crime buster Allan Pinkerton opens his agency's doors to a handful of women, one intrepid actress with her own troubled past is driven to defy convention and take on a new and dangerous role. . . Since the age of eleven, when her mother was murdered, the life of the theater is all Lilly Long has known. Now twenty-two, she has blossomed into an accomplished Shakespearean actress. But after her innocence--and her savings--are taken from her by a seductive scoundrel, Lilly vows to leave the stage, enter the real world, and save others from a similar fate. Following in the footsteps of the country's first female detective, Lilly persuades Allan Pinkerton to take her on. Lilly's acting skills are a perfect fit for her real-life role as a Pinkerton operative. But her first case is a baptism by fire as she is sent to the small town of Vandalia to solve the mystery of a pastor who disappeared with his family--and the church's funds. When Lilly arrives, she finds the mere mention of the reverend's name provokes enmity or suspicious silence. Shadowed by a second Pinkerton agent with an agenda of his own, Lilly begins to uncover Vandalia's sordid secrets. But she'll have to deliver the performance of a lifetime to survive the final act of this drama.
