Having followed his family heritage for 200 years, readers of this acclaimed series are now introduced to Pete Tonneman. A correspondent for the "New York Evening Post" covering a nation--and a city--torn apart by civil war, Tonneman is handed a hot lead by a pretty, eavesdropping barmaid. Together with an unlikely cast of characters, they join forces to save the Union.
I slogged through about 3/4 of the book then skipped through the rest to get to the end. There were so many characters and it just dragged on. I was really excited about a mystery set in that time period to but I really did not enjoy the book.
