Welcome to the Victorian West of author Michelle Black.

The novels of the Victorian West offer an electrifying mixture of history, romance, and suspense set in a time when America was fueled by new frontiers, new ideas, and the relentless optimism of a young nation still defining its unique character and spirit.

In The Second Glass of Absinthe, Eden leaves the prairie for the decidedly more sophisticated environs of boomtown Leadville where she must clear her nephew, Kit Randall, of murder charges as the town struggles with the violence of its first labor strike. Hardcover - 320 pages.
