The Highest Bidder

Here’s Charlene’s latest book.

The Highest Bidder

In the hard years of the 1930s, the rails carried more than freight, they carried corruption.

When relief shipments begin disappearing from freight trains across the Midwest, a Bureau man with Missouri Pacific Railroad, Elias Kane, rides the rails to track down the thieves stealing from a nation already brought to its knees. What starts as a hunt for boxcar bandits soon leads him into smoke-filled offices and boardrooms where top executives broker secret deals with bidders hungry for profit.

From dusty depots to the polished halls of St. Louis power, Elias follows a trail of sabotage, betrayal, and greed, risking everything to expose those willing to sell out the desperate for the highest price.

A lean, atmospheric chase through Depression-era America, The Highest Bidder reveals how far one man will go to protect the country’s lifeline.
