A Fair to Remember

Clara Lambert arrives at the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, working as a Kodak girl, one of the photographers who carry cameras through the fairgrounds. She has no idea that her pictures will capture the attempt on President McKinley's life.

James Brinton is a police officer who lost his standing and now works security at the Expo. He wants to clear his name, and a place on the president's security detail may follow if he does.

When suspicion falls on Clara and she is accused of having a part in the attack, James sets his own plans aside. He has come to care for her, and he sets out to prove she is innocent. Investigations and arrests close in, and the danger around them grows.

This is historical fiction with a romance at its centre, built around a real event at a turn-of-the-century fair. The mystery and the threat drive the plot, and the pair's choices carry a further demand: to forgive, which proves harder than anything else they face.
