**About the Book**
Ulysses Granger, Continental soldier assigned to assist Colonel Clark in the West, is present for the Battle of St. Louis in 1780. In the aftermath, his best friend goes missing. Granger tracks him to a homestead some distance from the village where a mystery unfolds surrounding the Spaniard who owns the property, the body of Granger's friend, and stack of letters to and from a woman promised to marry the Spaniard. Granger does not have time to investigate as he is called away with Clark's men to pursue British and Native American forces. Three years later, partly on assignment to be the local American in St. Louis, he returns to St. Louis and resumes his search for answers about his friend's death, the mysterious Spanish bride who is on her way, and the woman he encountered three years before. He uncovers a plot concerning stolen gold, treason, and the deception of lovers.
"Eighteenth-century St. Louis is an intriguing setting for this historical whodunnit. The suspense and romance that surround Granger as soon as he crosses the Mississippi make this a hard book to put down. Prepare to be swept away!" --Carolyn Ives Gilman, author of Dark Orbit and Lewis and Clark: Across The Divide
**About the Author**
Born and raised in St. Louis, MO, Mark W. Tiedemann worked in photography for 35 years, both as freelance and as a lab technician. In pursuit of a lifelong dream, he attended the Clarion SF Writing Workshop, after which he began regularly selling short fiction and then began selling novels, beginning with Mirage, part of the ongoing Asimov's Robot City series, and then his own original novels beginning with Compass Reach. With the digital revolution in photography, Mark left the industry and went to work for Left Bank Books in St. Louis, retiring in late 2021 to continue his intent to write and publish.
