A compelling, character-driven historical mystery with a searing period flavor\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past secrets, treachery, murder, and intrigue mark Gutteridge\u2019s gripping sixth installment in the Marc Edwards Mystery series. 1838. With his military career behind, Marc is preparing to start as a lawyer. But when Billy McNair, a young soldier, is accused of poisoning Caleb Coltrane, a high-ranking American officer wounded and captured following a battle across the border, Marc takes it upon himself to defend the accused, unaware his quest will throw him into a dark web of a sinister conspiracy of national consequences. Gutteridge, an expert worldbuilder, sets up his historical setting with impressive efficiency, folding his crime story into an insightful and fully realized portrait of the early 19th century\u2019s colonized Canada and the struggles of the fledgling state as it tried to defend itself against American militia raiding across the border. Gutteridge\u2019s narrative is inventive and propulsive and the characters richly detailed. The central mystery adds urgency to the historical snapshot without overpowering it. Lovers of finely crafted historical mysteries will want to take a look. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
