In World War I Canada, Irish immigrant Rory Doyle works at a munitions factory. After a suspicious fire, he and a friend report German co-worker John Schmidt, who is then sentenced to death as a spy. Rory wrestles with doubt about Schmidt's guilt, even after his friend's drunken confession, but later finds irrefutable proof of Schmidt's espionage. This gripping tale navigates patriotism, the immigrant struggle, and the intricate moral dilemmas of wartime justice, revealing the blurred lines between loyalty and truth. The Jardine Building where this incident happened still exists at 4-54 Guelph Avenue. If you go to the Sparrow Brewery and Roasting business located there and sit inside for a beverage, you are sitting inside the actual location where the munitions were made. There is a paperback version of this story available there that includes rare photos. For more information on Canadian Author/Historian Paul Langan, go to https://paullangan.com
