Synopsis

"You are the only one who saw a president assassinated. That makes you the expert."


Having failed to protect McKinley, Martino DiPaolo, hesitates to accept the assignment to safeguard his successor.

Elsewhere, John Flammang Schrank believes that McKinley's ghost urged him to kill Roosevelt. That sworn commitment of a madman persuades DiPaolo to once again risk his own life to lead a president's security detail.

Meanwhile, DiPaolo is haunted by consequences of the sinking of the Rio di Janeiro. A friend turned enemy is out to kill the protector. Will DiPaolo succeed in keeping Roosevelt and himself safe?




Spanning the first decade of the 20th century and the events leading up to the attempt to assassinate Theodore Roosevelt, DiPaolo and the Colonel is the captivating sequel to Requiem for the Rio and the second novel in the historical trilogy about former Pinkerton agent Martino DiPaolo.

In this psychological thriller, Steve Bartholomew gives insightful glimpses of a disturbed mind while masterfully weaving together historical events into a credible and very human story. Book length: 51000 words.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

About the author: Following a previous life, he has turned his attention to telling stories about the Old West during the 19th and early 20th centuries. He has discovered there are thousands of untold stories to be found in old newspapers, magazines, and sometimes even history books. The stories he writes are mostly made-up fiction, but then so are a lot of history books. He has learned that what people most value are not the bare bone facts of the past, but the stories we tell about them. Steve (whose friends mostly refer to him as "Bart") derives his idea from listening to people, walking around old neighborhoods, and a lot of reading. As for his previous life, he had an undistinguished career in civil service. His first actual job was in the U.S. Army. Someday he may write a book titled "All I Need to Know I learned in the Army." He now lives in a rural part of northern California, where he likes to listen to folks and look at trees.
