The Crime of the Century

It’s October 1910. An explosion destroys the Los Angeles Times Building. Twenty people are killed, and many more are badly injured. With a rise in domestic terrorism, bombs have been detonating across the United States, as war between the unions and non-unions rages on. Famed private detective William J Burns is hired to find the arsonists. The New York Times once called him “the only detective of genius whom the country has produced.” What follows is an investigation that takes him across The States, following shady characters with murder on their minds. Will Burns be able to find the bombers before they strike again, or will this be the case that finally bests the celebrated private investigator?
