SynopsisAnother unique Civil War mystery starring our intriguing crime-solvers: Judah Daniel, a free black doctoress; Narcissa Powers, a white nurse; and the British journalist, Brit Wallace. As the South waits impatiently to engage the Federals again, Confederate Colonel 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. Despite this evidence, other puzzling clues suggest that the crime is not in fact a result of a slave revolt: The slaves appear catatonic, and the wounds do not match the weapons they are holding. An Army surgeon calls in Judah and Narcissa to investigate. While they are questioning the servants, another murder occurs, for which Judah Daniel is accused. Time begins to run out, and their journey to find the truth becomes dangerous as they risk their own lives to save others from becoming the latest victims.
