Deadly Betrayal. Perilous Secrets. Unbreakable Resolve.

Philadelphia, 1845—where freedom is an illusion, and danger waits in the shadows.

Dr. John Whitaker leads a double life, healing the wounded by day and risking everything by night in offering refuge to those fleeing the shackles of slavery. But as tensions rise, the Underground Railroad becomes more than a network—it becomes a battleground.

Henry Calloway moves seamlessly between Philadelphia's elite and its underbelly. A merchant of rope and sailcloth—or something far more dangerous—his true allegiances remain a mystery. When his coded knots signal an escape, lives hang in the balance, and one wrong move could spell disaster. But is he a savior or a traitor?

As betrayal closes in and slave catchers tighten their grip, John must navigate a world where each decision carries the weight of life or death. Will John's oath to aid freedom seekers make him a target, finally exposing his clandestine mission and thrusting his family onto the same treacherous path to freedom that he guided others?

With bounty hunters on the heels of slaves and their conductor, and allies who may not be what they seem, will courage be enough to outwit those who hunt them, or will the night swallow their final hope for freedom?

With breathtaking tension and vivid historical details, Signals in the Night is a gripping tale of courage, deception, and the undying hope for freedom. Perfect for fans of The Water Dancer and Underground Airlines, this historical suspense novelette brings to life the real dangers and quiet heroism of those who fought against the darkness—one whispered signal at a time.
