Beschreibung

What happens when the acclaimed international TV crime drama, Blue Bloods, inspires a story?
 
It brings to life Madam X, book three in the Illicit Things series.
 
 
 
Who knew being a madam could spell the end of your life…
 
After many successful years in New York, running the company her grandmother started and her mother took over, Josephine Pompadour has lived up to her inherited title of Madam X for five decades.
 
But when judge Bartholomew “Bartie” Winthrop murders two of Josephine’s girls, and dies from a heart attack in the midst of a passionate embrace with one of them, those in power start getting nervous, praying their secret fetishes won’t be exposed due to his carelessness. Then their world starts to splinter, shattering shard by shard, and there’s only one person they want to make responsible.
 
Even from behind bars, Josephine won’t go down without a fight. She has a secret weapon on the outside, one who is more than willing to make the bastards pay for what they’re doing to her, all of them, especially Police Commissioner Ryan and his family.
 
The dirty secretive underworld of New York’s brothels is crumbling, and all of the high-powered men of the city are going to be taken down in a blaze of delicious vengeful glory.

    When banners proclaiming the innocence of James Stewart spring up at the gravesite of his famous namesake—a clan leader who was falsely accused of murder and hanged almost three hundred years ago in a miscarriage of justice that still resonates—investigative reporter Rebecca Connolly smells a story. 
     
     
      
    The publicity stunt was clearly meant to draw attention, but what's behind it and why now? The young Stewart has been in prison for ten years for the brutal murder of his lover, lawyer and politician Murdo Maxwell, in his home in Appin, near the site of the Stewart monument. Rebecca soon discovers that, prior to his murder, Maxwell believed he was being followed, and his phones were tapped. What would justify a government phone tap against a public figure? And why is a Glasgow crime boss so interested? As Rebecca keeps digging, she finds herself in the sights of Inverness crime matriarch Mo Burke, who wants payback for the damage caused to her family in a previous case. 
     
     
      
    Set against the stunning backdrop of the Scottish Highlands, A Rattle of Bones is a tale of injustice and mystery, and the enduring echo of the past in the present.

The story follows Jimmie, a spirited Socialist and labor activist, as he navigates the challenges of poverty, patriotism, and political disillusionment. Initially fervently anti-war, Jimmie’s convictions are tested when he joins the military, exposing him to the harsh realities of conflict and propaganda. Sinclair delves into themes of class struggle, loyalty, and the cost of ideological compromise. Through Jimmie’s journey, the novel critiques the exploitation of workers and the moral contradictions of war. A blend of social commentary and personal drama, it captures the tension between individual ideals and societal pressures in a rapidly changing world.
