|
October 1859 -- The murder of a mysterious Negro woman and rumors of a dreaded slave uprising draw Byron Giles and his companions to a remote town in western Virginia, where strange and violent events unleash long-simmering resentments between North and South. Irrepressible Conflict appeals to history buffs and mystery fans alike. Populated by historical figures major and minor, the fictional mystery takes place in a meticulously researched historical framework, where events unfold as they would to a contemporary observer. Irrepressible Conflict is the first in a series of adventure/mysteries depicting a de-mythologized, behind-the-lines narrative of the rise and fall of the Confederacy.
