Hard Water (Oliver Redcastle Historical Mysteries Book 3)
About
PASSIONATE LOVERS AND DEADLY ENEMIES. It’s a scorching July in the summer of 1884. William Pinkerton has sent Oliver Redcastle to the Midwestern island paradise of Put-in-Bay. The assignment seems simple: capture a tight-rope-walking train robber. But two beautiful women, a dangerous cult, and reminders of Oliver’s Civil War past complicate the mission.
Old hatred and loves are suddenly restored. The sharpshooting detective must fight his way free of a tangled web of personal and professional hazards. In the process, he meets John Brown Jr., Jay Cooke, Ulysses S. Grant, and some of the other power-brokers that made the Midwest a center of industry and political clout in this fascinating period of American history. Don’t miss this one!

I don't read a lot of historical fiction as it's not my favorite genre, but I tried the first Redcastle novel a while back, and so far I haven't been disappointed in the series. Characters are the most important part of a novel for me, and the author does a great job with the characters in this series. So, not only would I recommend this to historical fiction fans, I would also recommend it to anyone who enjoys a mystery, action, and great characters.
