Set in New York City in
1897, No Safe Harbor is the story of a young Irish woman searching for her twin
brother.
For the last two years,
Cara Hamilton had thought her brother was dead, a victim of political violence
in Ireland. But when she receives a letter from him with instructions to meet
him in New York, Cara boards a ship and starts a perilous journey.
But once she arrives
there is no sign of her brother, and she must find her way with the help of strangers
who want to befriend her, even though she has been warned to trust no one. Cara’s
new life takes her to the intrigues and dangers of a political underworld. Her
guide and protector is Rourke Walsh – a man who claims to be her friend, but
could he be the one person her brother warned her to avoid?
Elizabeth Ludwig has
painted a fascinating picture of New York at the end of the 19th
century, complete with the contrast of beauty and poverty that makes the city
so intriguing. Her characters were compelling, and I can hardly wait to read
more of Cara’s story.
No Safe Harbor is the
first book in the Edge of Freedom series. I’m looking forward to the next
installment.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher for my
unbiased review.
