  “Sixth in the brilliantly researched and hauntingly rich Major Abel Jones Civil War mystery thrillers” from the bestselling author of Bold Sons of Erin (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).   Abel Jones arrives in New Orleans to investigate the death of a young crusader and finds himself facing fantastic rumors of the resurrected dead as the Union-occupied city approaches hysteria. The corpse of a Yankee heiress washes up on a levee. Citizens disappear in the night from the alleys of the French Quarter. Tales of ritual murder taunt the authorities—as an uneasy truce between newly freed slaves and their bankrupt former masters, voodoo priestesses, smugglers, and unwelcome Yankee troops stretches to the breaking point.    Paying tribute to the great literary traditions of New Orleans, Owen Parry leads us from the intrigue-haunted alleys of the French Quarter to the mysteries of nearby plantations and bayous to unravel the powerful superstitions and deadly force of greed that wind through this dark and rich adventure.  “A plot that twists and turns through voodoo and violence . . . Parry has a way with period color; his New Orleans lives and breathes.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch  “Parry is superb.” —Nashville Tennessean  “[The] satisfying sixth installment to Parry’s humorous, well-written and meticulously researched series of Civil War mysteries . . . all will delight in this installment’s continuing vivid historical detail and engaging protagonist.” —Publishers Weekly

  Frank Lucius Packard (February 2, 1877 – February 17, 1942) born in Montreal, Quebec, was a Canadian novelist. Packard is credited with bridging the gap from the “cozy” style mysteries to the more gritty, hard-boiled style of such writers as Dashiell Hammet and Raymond Chandler. Packard also wrote a series of novels, beginning in 1917, featuring Jimmie Dale. A wealthy playboy by day, at night, Jimmie becomes a crimefighter “The Gray Seal” complete with mask and secret hide-out, “The Sanctuary”. This character certainly influenced later crimefighting characters such as Batman and The Shadow.In The White Moll (1920) Rhoda Gray, “The White Moll”, an angel of mercy who spends her time helping the poor in the slums of New York City, is drawn into the criminal world when she attempts to help Gypsy Nan, who is not what she seems. Accused of a crime and on the run from the police, she must battle the most nefarious criminal gang in the New York underworld to prove her innocence. Populated by such characters as Pierre Dangler, the Pug, Pinkie Bonn, Skeeny, the Sparrow and above all “the Adventurer”, this story contains shoot-outs, car chases, adventure and enough suspense and deception to satisfy the most avid mystery lover. (Summary by Rowdy Delaney)
