After an explosion at the biggest iron   mill in town, 12-year-old Mary Mulhearn tries to clear her father of suspected   Molly Maguire terrorism. Daughter of an Irish immigrant, Mary must use all her   faith, her wits, and even her quick feet to stay one step ahead of the company   spy. But who could he really be? An adventure story for ages 10 and up.
