Call Each River Jordan by Owen Parry - 321 pages.
Another excellent entry in the Abel Jones Civil War mystery series. While the plots are quite good, the writing style makes these books standouts. This title begins by plunking the reader right down into the middle of the bloody Battle of Shiloh, as Jones begins investigating the mass murder of runaway slaves. Atmosphere, characterization, steady pacing all combine to make it a topnotch read. Just got the next book in the series today - can't wait to start it!
