Produktbeschreibung
"Gabe Baker, ex-slave and ex-soldier, has found friends and made a good life for himself in Colorado, far from the scenes of horror of his past that he survived and thought he could forget. However, his relative comfort is disturbed when he is visited by a stranger who tells him he is from the newly formed United States Secret Service. He tells Gabe the Grant administration needs the knowledge and contacts Gabe developed in fighting with the 54th Massachusetts to help find stolen Confederate Gold. The men who dug up and stole the gold are the worst of the worst. They are bent on creating a new order in which slavery will once again sustain the lavish lifestyle to which they had become accustomed before the war. Recurrent symptoms of trauma Gabe still carries with him from his days as a slave and as a soldier interfere with his mission. But through his struggles he sometimes finds support from unexpected sources. He learns that he is not alone as he makes his way through his biggest trial. He needs all the help he can get from old friends and new. In the end, he must deal with a startling revelation about his heritage. And he also must learn about love for the first time in his life"--
