The 1919 Winnipeg General Strike is the dramatic backdrop for the third installment of the Sam Klein Mystery Series. The First World War has just ended, the Bolsheviks now control Russia and the Western world is gripped by a “Red Scare.” The workers are taking over. In Winnipeg, a massive General Strike paralyzes the city. When a prominent businessman is murdered, detective Sam Klein is called in to solve the case.Short-listed for the Margaret McWilliams Medal for Best Historical Fiction Praise"Who needs James Bond? Sam Klein is back to save the world, or at least Winnipeg." —Winnipeg Free Press "This is great fun, and fans of Faye Kellerman will love the family and religious threads woven into the plot." —Globe and Mail "The yarn Levine spins for Klein to tie the homicides together skillfully blends elements of mystery, romance, history and politics with lots of conflicts and plenty of action and intriguing suspense." —Mystery Review "History needs to be kept alive, not just in Canada, but around the world. And judged on that level, Levine's book is a triumph, fascinating and arguably timely. No sooner had I finished it, than I headed to my local library to learn more about the 1919 strike. I also dusted off my mental to-be-read pile, where I moved Sam Klein's two previous adventures closer to the top." —januarymagazine.com
