    About this ebook

  • 10,000-copy first printing
  • Heffernan's best novel to date.
  • Vivid Civil War battle scenes, meticulously researched, very true-to-life.
  • This historical mystery is very relevant to our war-torn world; perhaps the first authentic Civil War novel with an "antiwar" theme.
  • Story line revolves around a mysterious death, but the audience for the book is much broader than a genre audience.
  • Strong appeal to both the mystery and general/literary audience.
  • Heffernan's best novel to date (and he has over 2 dozen previous novels!)
  • Major print and broadcast media outreach.
  • Strong academic/course-adoption potential.

      I listened to this book at work this summer and also on a road trip. The most compelling thing about this book was that all of the stories were based in or referenced Kansas City, so it was fun to actually picture the locations that were mentioned. Other than that, the stories were less than compelling and many of the characters were pretty unlikable. That being said, while I read mysteries, I'm less familiar with noir as a sub genre and this style may not be my kind of book. (I have picked up a copy of Seattle Noir, and will test this theory at a later date.)
