All's Fair..." is more than a stirring love
story. Its setting is a turbulent mining county where money and corrupt
politicians rule with guns. Into this mare's nest comes a young labor
leader, grimly determined to solve the murder of a fellow organizer and
to break the feudal reign of Ware County bosses. Disguised as a mine
owner's son, young Mac is invited into the home of the Alastairs, Ware
County's ruling family, and nearly forgets his mission when Sue
Alastair's blue eyes speak in an age-old language. But the miners
strike, Sue disappears, and Mac fights daringly. From the opening of the
book to its surprising climax Richard Wormser carries his readers at a
breathless pace.
