About this series
1865 – Following the Civil War, all Mike Zabel wants is to grow his San Francisco based investment company, love his wife, Molly, and raise his son, Jimmy. He doesn't expect his past to drag him back into a struggle with Russia's royal family.
The Grand Duchess Catherine Mikhailovna seethes with hate over the shooting death of her brother, the Grand Duke. She and her Russian associates make their way to San Francisco, bent on destroying the life of Mike Zabel, who she blames for the death of her brother.
After the kidnapping of his wife and son, Mike joins forces with former Confederate office, Franklin Mosby, who has followed the murderer of his wife to San Francisco.
Together, Mike and Franklin struggle against a criminal gang of train and stagecoach robbers, a murderous cannibal, and Russian tyranny in order to find justice.
Justice doesn't come easy. It must be pursued. Evil must be defeated. Peace must be earned… Pursuit is a compelling crime/suspense/thriller inspired by historic events following the American Civil War. If you enjoy authentic characters, accurate depictions of 19th century American life, and pulse pounding suspense, you'll love Thomas Holladay's PURSUIT: The American Way.

1855 Vladivostok – All Major, the Count Mikhail Diebitsch-Zabalkansky wanted for his outstanding service in combat was to receive his elevation to the Order of St. George in the 3rd degree, an irrevocable designation as a count in the governance of all Russia. At the reception ball in Vladivostok, when he invites the Grand Duchess, Catherine Mikhailovna, to join him for the opening waltz, he is surprised when the Grand Duke, Nikolai Nikolaievich, assaults him, first with the sword and then with a gun. In self-defense, Mikhail chops off the grand duke's right hand. Badly wounded, he flees for his life. His uncle sneaks him aboard a clipper ship bound for San Franciosco, loaded with Chinese slaves. Chiang Po, a free Chinese doctor, and his young daughter, SuLin, save Mikhail's life and nurse him back to health. Still weak when he lands in San Francisco, Mikhail is mugged and fleeced of all his money. Shortly after, events find him fighting for his life again, this time under the care of the widow, Molly O'Brian. Still an arrogant nobleman, Mikhail sees those around him as peasants. When he hears Molly and her friends talking behind his back, his attitude begins to change. Over a series of exciting historical events, surrounded by historical characters, Mikhail learns that truth and justice are far more important than position and wealth. Through his exploits, he earns the new title of Paladin, a law giver in a lawless land.
