Colors of Truth

Before the Secret Service began protecting the President of the US, they were involved in other aspects of law enforcement--particularly counterfeiting currency and other federal crimes.

Catriona O'Toole is a recent immigrant from Ireland, coming to America using money her brother sent for her family to make the crossing across the Atlantic.  The only members of her family left were her sister, Nora, and herself.

Wade Cunningham is a secret service agent charged with finding the group of counterfeiters in and around Franklin, Tennessee. 

Wade's and Catriona's paths cross at the Carnton Mansion and continue to cross as Catriona works to find her brother, Ryan, and as Wade investigates the counterfeiting ring.  Wade's good fortune allowed him to become the overseer of the plantation for Col. McGavock, the current owner. 

Tamera Alexander is one of the highest caliber writers of historical fiction.  At first, I wanted to skip to the end and be done with the book, but instead, I got drawn in and finished the book in whole. This is a five star book, with two thumbs up, and no wooden nickels.

Thomas Nelson and NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for this review.  All opinions expressed are mine alone.
