July, 1868. On receiving a commission from Matthew's cousin Luther
to look into the suspicious death of Lafayette Baker, Head of the
US National Detective Police, private investigators Matthew Grand
and his business partner James Batchelor leave London for
Washington DC. They find a country still scarred by the bitter
legacy of the Civil War and even in death Lafayette Baker remains
one of the most hated men north or south of the Potomac. The
newly-created Ku Klux Klan wanted him dead. So did the Washington
brothel-keepers, bar-owners and gamblers whom Baker had closed
down. What does beautiful former spy Miss Belle Boyd know that
she's not telling them? And could the President himself be
involved? Matthew Grand finds he has come home to a mixed
reception, while Batchelor struggles as an Englishman abroad. Will
either of them survive long enough to uncover the truth?
