Publisher Description
The book that started it all. Jack Blackwood is a lonely drunk who starts a detective agency in the heart of Washington DC. As Fort Sumter is attacked, he and his partner Ezra are embroiled in a case that could change the very course of the war: the son of a retired congressman has gone missing, along with military papers outlining the Union's Anaconda Plan. At the heart of the matter is a beautiful prostitute, a trail of dead men, and a spy who will stop at nothing to deliver the plans to the Confederacy. The investigation uncovers murder, blackmail, and the plight of a woman scorned. Will Jack survive the first bitter taste of war?

At Harper’s Ferry
Jack Blackwood and his partner Ezra have a reputation for finding answers even among the professional liars of Washington, DC. As the Civil War rages on, they are hired to find a missing young man and important war documents that he allegedly stole. They may find more than they bargain for as beautiful women and spies have their own agenda.
Didn’t enjoy this one as much as “Horror America.” Possibly because I expected a little more fright than fight? The quantity of typos didn’t help either.
