I am ready, sir, and John willingly left the chimney corner, for he was tired after his first day in Boston. Come, then, and I will show you the way. It is not late yet, but we rise early here, and you will be tired with your walk. The long clock on the stairs was striking nine as they ascended. Another flight of stairs, narrower and more given to turning about than the first, and John found himself in the attic. This is your room, announced Crane. Most of the men sleep in their own homes, but two are above the shop. I keep a lad in the house to run errands. I have just discharged the last lad I had, and who had this room before you. Did he not do his work well ? asked John, a little fearful for his own future, and remembering his inexperience. Aye, his work was well done; but I could not trust him. He was now here and now there, and again I knew not where. A lad who comes to me must be steady, aye, and straightforward. You're an honest lad, I know. I have ever been called so, sir, John truthfully answered. To be called so is one thing, and to be so is another, but I know an honest lad. Still I thought the other honest, he added reflectively, till I found he had deceived me. I can promise you, sir, that you'll find no fault with me in that way, said John. I have yet to learn to be a carpenter, but to be honest and frank, and to have no unworthy secrets, I have known from my cradle. That's well, and good night. But stay. Can you rise early in the morning? Here's the key to the back door, and another to the shop. You'll be up at five, and bring shavings from the shop to light the kit...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from When Boston Braved the King: A Story of Tea-Party Times The story of the Boston Tea-Party has been told many times, but still it offers to the story-teller a tempting theme. One thing which deserves to be brought more prominently to the front is the large share which the young people, the apprentices, the boys in the Latin School, and the Daughters of Liberty had in the making of public sentiment and the carrying out of daring projects in those momentous days. This story is intended to be accurate in its representation of historic characters and events; to give a true picture of life and thought in Boston before the Revolution, and to bring to the front the young people of the time together with their interesting seniors.

Book excerpt: In 1950's Boston, the Irish Republican Army is running guns and killing witnesses. Cal and Dante are committed to stopping them. When a body is discovered at the Charlestown locks -- tarred, feathered and shot to death -- it appears to be a gangland killing, and is almost immediately dismissed. However, Cal O'Brien's cousin, Boston PD detective Owen Lackey, recognizes the murder style as the typical retribution for IRA informers. Combined with a tip-off about a boat coming into Boston weighed down with stolen guns and ammunition, the body in the locks hints that much more may be at stake than a one-off hit. Serpents in the Cold introduced us to Cal and Dante, whose previous investigation brought them to the highest ranks of Boston's political elite. This time, Cal and Dante descend into the city's shadowy underbelly -- a world of packed dance halls, Irish wakes, and funeral parlors. There they discover a terrorist plot that will shake the city to its core and bring them head-to-head not only with Cal's past, but with the IRA Army Council itself.
