You can't judge a man by the color of his coat.

For ten years, an execution hid murder. Then Michael Stoddard came to town.

If you like Diana Gabaldon, Bernard Cornwell, or Jim Butcher, then you'll love this action-packed, rollicking-good murder mystery.

Bearing a dispatch from his commander in coastal Wilmington, North Carolina, redcoat Lieutenant Michael Stoddard arrives in Hillsborough in February 1781 in civilian garb. He expects to hand a letter to a courier working for Lord Cornwallis, then ride back to Wilmington the next day. Instead, he's greeted by the courier's freshly murdered corpse, a chilling trail of clues leading back to an execution ten years earlier, and a sheriff with a fondness for framing innocents—and plans to deliver Michael up to his nemesis, a psychopathic British officer.
