Courage Place

Taken from the files of the National Archives is the evidence of a conspiracy to murder anybody who stands in the way of the Ku Klux Klan. Witnesses against Klansmen have short life spans and so do jurors who dare to find them guilty.Even though police, courts, and newspapers are firmly on the side of the Klan, James M. Walker, a white man, gamely tries to stop their killing of boys and girls and their parents in 1874 in central Kentucky. Real U. S. Secret Service spy, Roy Bauer, investigates the Klan at the request of the U. S. Attorney General. In the process he watches them murder Walker, a man whom he admires. The outcome of the murder is that federal troops clash with the Kentucky militia and almost spark another edition of the War Between the States. In the process of investigation Roy meets Sheba, the pretty and mysterious young woman who seems to be wherever Roy is. During the investigation, Roy, a German-American, learns about himself, his new country, and about Sheba. And he gets a graduate course in revenge.Fiske, Thomas S. is the author of 'Courage Place' with ISBN 9781929925391 and ISBN 1929925395.
