The Bridge of Death - Kara D Wilson - Bog

The Eads Bridge in St. Louis has an extensive history, most of which is shrouded in mystery. Most everyone in 1917 was willing to overlook the decades' slew of killings that happened under its metal framework-until beloved Bridget McGuire was found dead along its shoreline. With crooked cops gunning for their arrest and the general public adamant they played a part in her gruesome death, Frankie Fishman and Hershey Kapnick set out to identify and locate Bridget's murderer. As the metaphorical noose slowly tightens around their necks, the boys embark on a pervasive investigation that takes them from bars and pubs to Irish ghettos and burnt-out buildings. Smart, charismatic, and embellished with details of the time, The Bridge of Death reflects all that humanity has to offer-both good and bad.
