Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Murder and war refuse to leave Union spy Harrison Raines alone in his sixth action-packed exploit. A year and four months of constant battle and intrigue have left the myopic sleuth bone weary of the conflict ravaging a divided nation, and in August 1862 he retires to his farm outside Shepherdstown in the western Virginia hills. But when Union sympathizer Reverend Ashby is gunned down and hanged from a tree, a fate soon shared by a young woman, Raines once again turns detective. Abetted by his delightful sidekick, Indian scout Jacques Tantou, and a new love interest, feisty Allie Robertson, Raines must interrupt his investigation as armies converge near Antietam Creek in one of the Civil War's bloodiest engagements. Kilian (The Shiloh Sisters, etc.) presents another multifaceted crime story intricately wedded to the politics of an ever-fascinating era.

From Booklist
Rampantly antislavery, Harrison Raines is a scout for the Union army. He has just returned from the brutal fighting on the western front and hopes to settle down on his Virginia plantation. But his boss, Allan Pinkerton (who will later launch the famous detective agency), has other ideas. He wants Harry to track the Confederate Army's movements and report to the Union's top brass. Just as Harry sets out on his mission, he is shocked to learn about the violent murder of the local parson, who worked secretly for the Union. Then two young women known to be "especially close" to the reverend are also murdered. Harry is determined to find out who is killing his friends and neighbors. Colorful characters, an authentic picture of war's brutality, an intriguingly perplexing plot, and a likable, larger-than-life hero make this addition to the Harrison Raines series a top pick for Civil War buffs and fans of historical mysteries.
