Devil's Den
Gettysburg, June 1923.
On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the bloody battle, the corpse of a Yankee veteran is found in Devil’s Den, the battlefield’s most notorious slaughter pen.
Seth Armitage, a shell-shocked World War I veteran working for the US Bureau of Investigation is assigned to the case by the Bureau’s corrupt director, who is being undermined by an ambitious young deputy - J. Edgar Hoover.
The homicide victim leads Armitage to Peggy Stewart, daughter of another veteran with her own dark secrets.
Armitage's investigation uncovers more murdered soldiers and a dormant assassination conspiracy from the previous century that has been awakened with lethal consequences.
Aided by aviator Charles Lindbergh, Armitage races against time to unravel the mystery of who is killing the Civil War survivors.
After a climactic aerial battle, Armitage returns to the old blood-soaked battlefield believing he has closed the case.
But the sins of the past are not quite laid to rest.
In Shadowland
Washington DC 1925
President Teddy Roosevelt's son Quentin was killed in World War I. So why is another man's corpse in his grave?

Armitage is soon targeted by powerful and ruthless forces on both sides of the Atlantic who are committed to keeping the scandal secret - at any cost.
The line between enemies and allies blur as the agent is drawn into a conspiracy, which leads him to Germany and an encounter with a burgeoning political force. The Nazi Party.
Armitage eventually uncovers the truth in an ancient Bavarian castle.
But at what price?
