Rough Trade

The shores of 1888 Tacoma bustle with men moving cargo…as murders occur not far from the shipping docks.

Carrasco creates an authentic atmosphere of the old western town of Tacoma, Washington Territory, where her characters are flawed yet empathetic, with genuine emotions and personal conflicts. The men working as stevedores on the shipping docks begin to worry when two bodies wash ashore, then the count increases… Jack Camp, a dock crew boss, has more to worry about than just workers being murdered, when his secret trade is at risk of being discovered. This historical mystery novel has the reader turning pages, learning more and more that there’s more to the characters than what meets the eyes watching them.
