The Devils Den by Timothy Ashby
Wow just wow! I downloaded this book in November or December and, I just got to it. What an unbelievably great book. If you just like history, youll want to read this, if you love mysteries, youll want to read this. If you love historical fiction, youll want to read this book. It has it all. I am astounded by the amount of research that must have gone into the writing of this book: Separating fact from fiction forget about it! Just sit back and enjoy the ride.
It starts out just weeks before the 60th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, an old Union soldier is found murdered in the part of the battlefield park know as the Devils Den. Under the excuse, that Gettysburg is a National Park, the Bureau of Investigation takes over the case. Enter Seth Armitage, an earnest and honest young investigator, is sent out to investigate the murder of an old soldier. When ordered to answer only to Director William Brooks of the BI, Seth realizes that this is no regular murder investigation.
Washington under the Harding administration was a hot bed of corruption, skullduggery, and vice, J Edgar Hoover the 29 year old assistant director to the BI, was already amassing his files on the movers and shakers in the country: Just waiting for his chance to assume power. But this is the story of Seth, and his dogged determination to find out who killed the old soldier.
I am so excited that there is another book in the works In Shadowland. I love the romance in the story it is refreshing. It is very well written and I flew through it. An absolute 5 star read!
