The mystery surrounding the murder of Treasury agent Alan Guthrie deepens in this sequel to Charlsie Russell's gothic, Camellia Creek.
As of January 1866, Major Seth Parker's investigation into the Guthrie murder has been confounded by more murders and the involvement of the woman who saved Parker's life three years earlier. Further, the Treasury Department's suggestion Parker find a Southerner to blame, along with its refusal to confirm why Guthrie had been in Mississippi to begin with, brings Treasury's motives into doubt.
Rebecca Mackey lost not only her young husband and unborn son to war, but her father, a brother, and a sister. Now her sole surviving sibling, Eli Calhoon, ex-CSA, is fighting for his life, the victim of an attack linking him not only to Alan Guthrie's murder, but to a web of intrigue in the U. S. Treasury. Worse yet, the man who has set his sights on Eli Calhoon is Seth Parker, the enemy whose life she saved in 1863, a man she is loathe to trust, but who might prove her greatest ally.
