In and "Island of Tears, and " Troy Soos surpasses his previous achievements, delivering a novel that seamlessly weaves an intriguing mystery with an impeccably detailed historical setting and a cast of fully-realized, complex and interesting characters - both real and imagined.On January 1, 1892, the first immigrant ship arrived at Ellis Island. For those on board, the journey was full of sorrow and hardships. Leaving families and homes behind, they sought a new beginning in the land of opportunity. But what awaited them was corruption and exploitation by those who saw the immigrants' plight as a path to profit.Harper's Weekly contributor and dime novelist Marshall Webb finds himself embroiled in this world after a chance encounter with a young Dutch girl who vanishes from Ellis Island moments after she arrives.Stalled by bureaucrats, Marshall's investigation takes him to Chandler House and reformer Rebecca Davies. Amid the abused women and the runaway children, Marshall learns the harsh reality of how the other half truly lives.When he uncovers white slavery and murder, Webb realizes how far the powerful will go to protect their illicit enterprises. With Rebecca's help, he is determined to stand against the corrupt criminal and political machine - and prove that justice doesn't come at a price.
