  “Another evocative and boldly executed historical whodunit irresistibly steeped in Civil War atmosphere and arcana” from the author of Honor’s Kingdom (Booklist).   A Union general’s senseless murder is swiftly cloaked in lies and the evidence points to Irish laborers struggling to find a place in their new homeland. But the turmoil of war hides layers of dangerous secrets, and a Welsh immigrant nursing wounds old and new must overcome ancient hatreds to honor justice.   In this gripping novel that travels from brutal coal mines to the grim battlefield of Fredericksburg, Washington intrigue and industrial corruption collide with hints of rural witchcraft and the sorrows of political exile. A wandering beauty who may be mad, a priest with an unbearable secret, revolutionary assassins, and a brilliant Irish war hero are but a few of the vivid characters who rise full-blooded from theses pages. At once swift of pace and poetic, ablaze with suspense, and rich with insights into the human heart, Bold Sons of Erin continues Owen Parry’s tradition of bringing America’s past to life with unrivaled storytelling ability, extraordinary historical accuracy, and a disarming sense of our common humanity.  “Fifth in the hauntingly rich Abel Jones Civil War series, following Honor’s Kingdom . . . explores a lost area of the Civil War, the effect of immigrant Germans, Welsh, and sons of Erin on the war’s outcome.” —Kirkus Reviews   “Grave robbing and witches provide the atmospheric overture as Maj. Abel Jones, agent for Abraham Lincoln, investigates the murder of a Northern general in his fifth suspenseful adventure.” —Publishers Weekly
