About This Item
Viking, 1999. First edition. First printing [stated]. Hardcover. Very good in very good dust jacket. Signed by author. DJ has slight wear, soiling and sticker residue.. xii, 206 p. An unlikely pair of crime solvers returns in an elegant and haunting mystery. As the South waits impatiently to engage the Federals again, Confederate Col. John Berton returns from the front to find his father, mother, and wife with their throats cut, and the servants nearby with knives in their hands. Narcissa Powers, a white widowed nurse, and Judah Daniel, a free black healer, as well as many secondary characters introduced in McMillan's debut Civil War mystery, Dead March, return for a second outing. In Richmond, Va., in October 1861, with the war at a temporary lull, Col. John Berton returns from the front to find his parents and wife slain and his house slaves in a stupor. The fear of slave rebellions is intense; if Berton's slaves committed the murders, it is important not only that they be punished, but that word of the slaughter be kept quiet. For not only might the news inspire further uprisings, but it could sap the will of the soldiers who have left loved ones behind.
