The Detroit Electric Scheme by De Johnson

The Detroit Electric Scheme by De Johnson

It's Detroit 1910: When Will Anderson finds the body of John Cooper crushed in a huge hydraulic press, he panics - for good reason. The body is in his father's electric automobile factory, in the department Will manages. Worse yet, Cooper is engaged to the woman Will loves, his ex-fiancee Elizabeth Hume. He runs, eluding the police but leaving behind his cap and automobile. Under threat from a blackmailer and with the police closing in, Will discovers that Elizabeth is in terrible danger. He follows her through the Detroit underworld, trying to save her and find the killer at the same time. As the evidence mounts, Will gets closer and closer to the secret Cooper had been desperately trying to keep - a secret that could cost Will not only his life, but also the lives of the people he loves most.

A Les Miserables for the American Experience:Part Noir, part tale of obsession and persecution, and all historically sound..If you liked Dennis Lehane's The Given Day, you'll waste no time devouring Detroit Electric. - Loren D. Estleman, author of Alone and Frames
