    Christmas in Mooselick River is all tinsel, twinkle lights…and murder. 
    After the year she’s had, Everly Dupree is ready for the holiday season—baking cookies, trimming the tree, guzzling eggnog, and indulging in one of her favorite traditions: the town’s annual Christmas lighting contest. 
    But murder never takes a holiday, and in Mooselick River, even Christmas comes with a body count. As displays are sabotaged, old grudges resurface, and bitter rivalries boil over, it’s starting to look like the lighting contest is about more than just dazzling decorations. 
    Then tenacious journalist Amber Hale turns up strangled with a string of Christmas lights, her corpse staged like a macabre holiday display—and her ghost becomes Everly’s newest problem. 
    The more she learns, the clearer it seems that Amber wasn't just chasing a headline. She was running from something—and if Everly isn’t careful, she’ll become the next holiday tragedy Mooselick River has to sweep under the snow.

    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 . . .
