Publisher's Synopsis
OLIVER REDCASTLE IS NO STRANGER TO BLOOD SHED. Memories of the men he has killed, first as a Pinkerton Detective, then as a Union Army sharpshooter haunt his days -- and his nights. He dreams of putting his past behind him and, upon learning that he has unexpectedly inherited a house in Baltimore, vows to start a new life for himself and his daughter.
Barely settled into his new home, Oliver makes the acquaintance of John D. Rockefeller. Any illusions of friendship are shattered (along with Oliver's dream of a peaceful life) when Rockefeller offers him a job investigating a railway explosion. Rockefeller makes it clear that Oliver had better take the case -- or else. With little choice, Oliver accepts the job and is plunged into mayhem once again.
A whirlwind of mystery follows as Oliver digs deeper into the city's past and an old Civil War encampment reveals old betrayals, triggers death and breeds a fresh murder plot. Can Oliver foil the killer's plans and prevent his future from becoming as bloody as his past? Read Gunshy to find out!
