Book 1st edition, so stated, October 1999 with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. Author's first book. First of the Abel Jones series set during the time of the American Civil War. WINNER of the HERODOTUS AWARD as the Best 1st US Historical Novel. " A colorful, scrupulous and unassuming sleuth named Abel Jones is the protagonist of this solid historical thriller set during the opening months of the Civil War. When a crusading abolitionist is found murdered in 1861 in a Union encampment near Washington, Jones, a convalescing casualty of First Manassas, presently assigned to desk duty, is tapped by the Union's newest general, George B. McClellan, to discover the killer and bring him to justice. Although Jones is the most modest of men--a teetotaling Welsh immigrant, a Methodist and stout moralist--he's a veteran of some of the bloodiest battles of the century, as a former solider in Britain's Indian army. Modeled on the best qualities of such famous detectives as Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes--with a little Miss Marple thrown in--Jones is small of stature and hampered by an injured leg, but he is a courageous man and seeker of truth. Decrying injustice everywhere, from child prostitution to military atrocities, the humble do-gooder proves a daunting foil for an assortment of villains, including McClellan himself. The first-person narrative is infused with ingeniously authentic and varied period patois, artfully drawn cameos and historical portraits. Whenever Jones issues a narrow assessment of people according to their national or racial background, he does so in accordance with typical period attitudes--no revisionist political correctness here.."--PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.
