A killer is loose in Hood’s Texas Brigade. When a sentry from his squad dies, Corporal Whistler Bischof at first suspects the Yankees. When others are murdered, he believes that someone in his own regiment may be responsible. Before he can track down the man, the killer shoots one of Whistler’s friends in the back during a battle. Could the evil presence be in Whistler’s own squad? Whistler meets and falls in love with Sally Langford, a hospital nurse who cares for wounded Texas soldiers. Then the murderer attacks Sally, making it more than personal for Whistler. He discovers that the man wants to kill General Hood, their leader. Can Whistler catch him before he murders again? He has to try, even though he is involved in some of the worst fighting of the Civil War.

The Devil Inside,
This review is from: The Devil's Chessboard (Paperback)
Charlie Rush's The Devil's Chessboard, except for all the hacking and slashing, was a great little Civil War "cozy" mystery. Don't get me wrong--the hacking and slashing are central to the story, and needed, and it is set during the Civil War, where war is hell, and murder set within your own ranks, worse. Charlie has a great sense of history, and did his research. You feel as though you're back in 1862, living out the mystery along with the characters in his tale. I like how he also included snippets of data at the beginning of his chapters. Nice touch. As his dedication tells you, one of his three great-grandfathers, Private John W. Allen, served under Hood's Texas brigade, and you can sense Charlie's pride for the Confederate forces, and Texas in particular. Texas, it seems is a state of mind, not just a state.
