Fighting Bob — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

When an African-American woman arrives whipped and tortured at the Club on Lake Superior, she interrupts a meeting of powerbrokers setting up the 1924 senate election. Russell hoped to use the meeting to garner support for his candidate, Joe Stanislawski. But the interruption disrupts Russell's plans.

When Joe rushes to the woods where the woman says the men who beat her are still beating her husband, Russell follows. But what Joe does next surprises everyone involved.

And Russell discovers that in politics, the smallest event can change everything.
