A Revolutionary Murder is a fast-paced, atmospheric mystery set at a Revolutionary War reenactment camp - where the past isn't just remembered... it kills.
When guest historian Professor Andaya steps onto the Blackwood Valley reenactment grounds, he expects wool uniforms, black-powder muskets, and harmless historical drama. Instead, he walks into a powder keg of rival regiments, forged artifacts, stolen state grants, and a mysterious extra soldier who appears on the morning roster... then vanishes.
He was pale-almost bloodless-with hollow cheeks and dark, intense eyes... - Chapter 2
When a musket volley erupts during the afternoon battle, one shot rings sharper than the rest - and reenactor Jonas Pike collapses with a very real bullet wound. In the chaos, the ghost recruit disappears into the smoke.
As state police lock down the camp, Andaya uncovers a chilling truth: the killer didn't just hide in the ranks - he timed the murder to the millisecond, using the synchronized musket volley as perfect cover.
Now, with hundreds of reenactors trapped on the grounds, Andaya must navigate:
Bitter rivalries between authenticity-obsessed regiments
A forged artifact scandal
A hidden cache of stolen grant money
A dead man's brother returned from the shadows
A killer who knows the firing cadence better than anyone
The perfect murder had just been committed in front of five hundred witnesses... - Chapter 8
A Revolutionary Murder blends historical atmosphere, modern intrigue, and a locked-camp mystery into a tight, cinematic thriller perfect for fans of One-Hour Mysteries, regional crime fiction, and high-concept whodunits.
