About this ebook
From the New York Times–bestselling author, "one of the best historical mysteries we've seen . . . Jones is a memorable, magnificent character" ( The Denver Post).
Selected as one of the year's best books by the Washington Post and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
As his best friend marches on Fort Donelson with Grant, Union officer Major Abel Jones struggles to solve the riddle of Federal agents tortured to death in a snow-swept Northern town. While Secretary of State William Seward worries about an immigrant insurrection, Jones discovers a world of murder and madness, sedition and seances, selfless patriotism and haunting passions. Abel is duty-bound to succeed, even though the ghosts of his own past—when his uniform was scarlet and not blue—are waiting for him. Rich in characters both fictional and historical, gorgeous in its language, clear as winter sunlight, and swift as the telegraph that binds a young country together, Shadows of Glory magnificently conjures up an American past—and brings it to ravishing life with matchless authenticity and storytelling power.
"Gripping . . . vivid . . . a fine historical novel . . . [a] marvelous evocation of atmosphere and place." — The Washington Post
"Riveting . . . conveys the era of the Civil War with great mastery." — Chicago Tribune
"Second in Parry's praised Civil War series, this uncommonly engaging historical drama . . . stirs the imagination with its vivid color, gripping suspense and wartime historical accuracy." — Publishers Weekly
