All's Fair...
Free Download"All's Fair..." is more than a stirring love story. Its setting is a turbulent mining county where money and corrupt politicians rule with guns. Into this mare's nest comes a young labor leader, grimly determined to solve the murder of a fellow organizer and to break the feudal reign of Ware County bosses. Disguised as a mine owner's son, young Mac is invited into the home of the Alastairs, Ware County's ruling family, and nearly forgets his mission when Sue Alastair's blue eyes speak in an age-old language. But the miners strike, Sue disappears, and Mac fights daringly. From the opening of the book to its surprising climax Richard Wormser carries his readers at a breathless pace. (Copyright unrenewed.)
