Synopsis
1861. Elle Burns is a former slave with a passion for justice. She also possesses a photographic memory. She has the rare fortune—a human right—to live a free life. But to spy for the Union Army, she is willing to risk the brutal indignity of the slave system deeply entrenched in the South.
Malcolm McCall is a seasoned detective for Pinkerton's Secret Service. His latest mission is his riskiest yet: to infiltrate and embed himself within a Rebel Virginia enclave. Together with Elle, these two brave spies stumble across a plot that could turn the tide of the war in the Confederacy's favor. Caught
in a tightening web of wartime intrigue, Malcolm and Elle must make their boldest move to preserve the Union at any cost—even if it means losing each other …
“Blending the high stakes of history with convincing emotional connections, every installment in Cole's Civil War–set trilogy are must-reads.”—Oprah Daily
