Antietam Assassins (Harrison Raines Civil War Mysteries, Book 6)
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.Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
