Book excerpt: Pinkerton Detective Caleb Lincoln struggles against the worst natural disaster ever to strike the United States - the 1900 Galveston Hurricane - while fighting for his own life during the investigation into the murder of the Texas philanthropist whose estate founded Rice University in Houston in 1912. Chased by a mysterious assassin paid to stop him from finding the truth, Lincoln races across a continent and back before meeting his nemesis on the battlefield of a famous Texas hill even as the monumental Spindletop oil gusher explodes in the background. Based on actual events, this is a sweeping story of tragedy, murder, romance, and crackling good adventure.
