Shadows of Glory by Owen Parry - Trouble in the North

In a snow-swept Northern town, Union officer Major Abel Jones struggles to solve the riddle of Federal agents tortured to death, an act of stunning brutality cloaked in fear and lies. Confronted with murder and madness, sedition and seances, selfless patriotism and haunting passions, Abel is duty-bound to succeed, even though the ghosts of his own past-when his uniform was scarlet and not blue-are waiting for him. From the dr ma of Civil War Washington and a divided home front, to the hardship and triumph of Grants capture of Fort Donelson, Shadows of Glory magnificently conjures up an American past -- and brings it to ravishing life with matchless authenticity and storytelling power.

Trouble in the North
This author has a great sense of style. He immerses you in the setting and the story. You see, hear, smell, taste, and touch the scenes in this story set in the winter of 1861-62. In the first book in this series, Faded Coat of Blue, we met Captain Abel Jones of the US Army, but he is no cardboard figure. In the author's hands, we see Jones as a real person, with faults and fears and feelings that make him real and understandable. The story is simple. Jones, now a Major, is sent to Penn Yan in northern New York State to investigate reports of an Irish rebellion against the war. Two secret agents sent there previously have been exposed and murdered, but Jones arrives in full uniform, with no hiding what he is investigating. The winter is bitter cold, and danger seems to be around every corner, but Jones plods forward with his investigation. He finds no evidence of an Irish rebellion, but uncovers something far more threatening to the survival of the United States. If you are willing to sit back and enjoy a good story, this is for you.
