HE IS THE CONFEDERACY'S GREATEST WEAPON. THE UNION'S ONLY HOPE IS TO ELIMINATE HIM.
General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson does not just defeat Union armies-he dismantles them. A tactical phantom who moves with impossible speed, Jackson routinely shatters forces twice his size, turns bad roads into weapons, and appears exactly where maps dictate he cannot be. Conventional warfare has failed to stop him. Washington is bleeding. And in the dark, off-the-books corners of the War Department, a shadow intelligence bureau authorizes the unthinkable: assassination.
Jonah Harlan is a Virginia-born surveyor hiding a lethal past in the North. Blackmailed by a ruthless Union spymaster holding the evidence of Jonah's darkest secret, he is forced to accept the ultimate suicide mission. He must cross the Potomac, shed his identity, and infiltrate the most dangerous place on earth-the ranks of the Army of Northern Virginia.
Reborn as Confederate guide "Eli Mercer," Jonah plunges into a brutal world of mud, blood, and constant paranoia. Getting close to the South's most revered commander means fighting alongside the very men he is sworn to betray. Stalked by a sadistic rival who smells a rat, and drawn to a shrewd widow harboring dangerous secrets of her own, Jonah must navigate a deadly labyrinth of espionage where one wrong syllable means the noose.
As spring thaws and the armies hurtle toward a catastrophic collision in the tangled, suffocating brush of the Virginia Wilderness, Jonah's window to strike is closing. In this pulse-pounding historical thriller, that legendary accident becomes the perfect cover for a deliberate, black-ops assassination.
