It's 1882, and once again, Oliver Redcastle is about to dive into mayhem. He's no stranger to bloodshed. Memories of the men he has killed, first as a Pinkerton Detective, then as a Union Army sharpshooter haunt his days - and his nights. He dreams of putting his past behind him and, upon learning that he has unexpectedly inherited a house in Baltimore, vows to start a new life for himself and his daughter.
Barely settled into his new home, Oliver makes the acquaintance of John D. Rockefeller. Oliver's hopes for a peaceful life are shattered when Rockefeller offers him a job investigating a railway explosion and makes it clear that Oliver had better take the case - or else. With little choice, Oliver accepts the assignment and is plunged into trouble once again.
A whirlwind of mystery follows as Oliver digs deeper into the city's past and an old Civil War encampment reveals old betrayals, triggers death, and breeds a fresh murder plot. Can Oliver foil the killer's plans and prevent his future from becoming as bloody as his past? Pick up Gunshy to find out.
