Mystery | Suspense
Seattle, 1901. The race to win an electrical competition
incites Professor of Electrical Engineering Benjamin
Bradshaw’s obsession for invention in the second entry to
this exciting historical series. The contest winner’s
telephonic system will deliver music from the Seattle Grand
Theater to homes throughout the city, and Bradshaw is
confident he can win. Before he can enter the contest, Bradshaw discovers what is
thought to be a gypsy wagon suddenly abandoned behind his
house. What happened to the father and child who lived in
this cart? Then President McKinley is assassinated, casting
Bradshaw and the entire nation into shock. However, Bradshaw
is captivated by a crime closer to home: the peddler’s child
may have witnessed a murder. He follows the girl’s trail,
plunging into a seedy underworld of bars and brothels.
Frustrated by the police department’s apathy and caught
between power struggles, he doesn’t know whom to trust. Each
step of his investigation entangles him deeper in crime and
corruption until he realizes that to save the child, he must
transform his contest entry into a trap to catch a killer.
Bradshaw’s electrical forensic and investigative skills,
combined with a keen understanding of human nature, bring
the Seattle police—and murder—to his doorstep during the
social and scientific turmoil of the early twentieth century.
