And in London, private detective Septimus Dacers finds that helping an American girl in distress plunges him into combat with the Dixie Ghosts, and brings him face-to-face with threatened murder--his own! Can Dacers save the honor of the girl's father, and stop the dastardly scheme to resurrect the Confederate States? A gripping period mystery featuring a dynamic new investigator!
