Klan vs Lawman. Company thugs vs union organizers. Miner vs miner. Citizen vs citizen. At stake is not only the working condi-tions in the ore mines, but also the town of Calumet, the sticking point to the Klan as the hooded miscreants attempt to control the entire territory. Calumet must fall. So long as the citizens of Calumet hold out against the Klan making in roads in its government, the rest of the territory can breathe easier. All of the neighboring towns and villages collectively hold their breath, while in Calumet a handful of irate citizens join with a U.S. Marshal as well as unexpected, but most welcome, aid from the outside. The only thing is, has the aid come too late to stop the Klan’s inevitable march toward total control. After all, the Klan will stop at nothing: murder, rape, assassinations, kidnappings; anything to wrest control of the town’s government from the citizens. But, all is not as it seems. Buried somewhere in the body of helpful newcomers is a traitor, an unsuspected member of the Klan.

From the days of prohibition to modern times, this debut novel by MN author, Duane Schwartz, follows the saga of Cobb's Landing, a favorite rest stop to whiskey running gangsters of the past. Safe from the scrutiny of the law, underworld figures were free to frohlic, gamble, and drink undistrubed until the rape of a teenaged girl rifles a placid town to take action.

Three boys, each with their own set of troubles
while growing from childhood to puberty in the
heart of Minnesota’s iron mining country, have
been dealt a hand most others would fold. Instead,
they suffer their fates and turn that losing hand
into a winner, which when played right, will bring
the fate of an entire nation, particularly the
political structure of that nation, under their
control as they attempt to get even for something
which has been taken from them, their childhood.
They have been wronged. Someone must pay.
Vengeance is the catalyst for a battle that will last
an entire generation, a mob-like vengeance

Action mystery set on the Picturesque Mesabi Iron Range of northern Minnesota
Take a police chief who has never before served in law enforcement, push a reluctant but more convenient than qualified doctor into the job of coroner, insert a mayor in his first few weeks holding any office, and show them a water filled mine pit with bodies dressed in costumes of the roaring twenties popping to its surface, and what you get is a fiasco of epic proportions. Add to that a ninety-six-year-old former Catholic nun who knows the story but will only dish it out in portions to a team of amateurs who are unsure she will live to tell, and an eccentric mining company employee who ha | |  | | The Winds of Change
