ABANDONED. Transcontinental railroad

[Jennifer]

My husband ask if I might know the name of a book, I didn't so I am asking you. The story is about the transcontinental railroad and the Pinkertons were investigating for sabotage. Also there were bombs that where destroying tunnels and bridges. That is all he can remember aout the book. He is also not sure if its a fiction or non fiction. He heard it on Sirius book radio while they had this station still on air, probally about 2 years.

There is a historical fic about Allen Pinkerton Pinkerton's Secret: A Novel

[Bargle]

Possibly the 2nd Isaac Bell book by Clive Cussler and Justin Scott. The detective agency isn't the Pinkertons, but is loosely based on them.

The Wrecker

[Ayshe]

Suggesting two more:
The Highbinders
Bleeding Kansas

[Bargle]

Not that I recall in "The Wrecker", but it's been 3-4 years since I read it.

sorry, no idea, I haven't read them (I should have mentioned it), maybe if you message some of their readers?

Railroad Schemes?

Dark Trail?
Struggling to maintain order in the face of the transcontinental railroad, rivaling miners, and a justice-seeking marshal, Cole Tyler and Billy Casebolt encounter more trouble in a vengeful stranger from New Orleans.

The U.P. Trail?
While workers build the Union Pacific Railway, the United States Army fights the Native Americans.

Would Sirius book radio only be discussing new books?

I've sent Jennifer a message. She was active last month, so maybe she will answer.

[Bargle]

Never received a reply. Looks like this is headed for abandoned.

[Kris]
