Hailed by the Civil War Book Review as βinspired,β Michael Kilianβs series of Civil War Mysteries βentertains and educates at the same time.β His newest novel finds U.S. Federal Agent Harrison Raines far from his Virginia home as the latest battle of the Civil War erupts in the west. . .

Awaiting their arrival in Santa Fe is their contact Don Luis Almaden y Cortes, the Union armyβs key asset in its struggle to stop the Rebels at Glorieta Pass.

Now, with the help of Almadenβs striking, strong-willed daughter, and an Indian scout he befriended in the desert, Harry must root out the real killer, clear Leahyβs name, and gather the intelligence Almaden had that was vital to the Union causeβ¦
