Martinsburg, Virginia, nestled drowsily at the gateway to the Shenandoah Valley until the Civil War erupted & plunged its citizens into a hurricane of blood, battle, occupation & intrigue. Occupied by both forces more than fifty times during the war, Martinsburg became a hotbed of spies -- defiant Southern supporters & passionate Union loyalists. In this crackling mystery, modern-day amateur sleuth & Martinsburg native, Samantha Carter, discovers that a gruesome murder was committed when Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson made his headquarters in Martinsburg early in the Civil War. When a "copy-cat" of the long-ago murder occurs in the same building that was once Stonewall's headquarters, Samantha Carter & her loveable cat Foghorn set out to solve a wartime murder to bag a modern-day villain. Meticulously researched using the cornucopia of carefully preserved diaries, oral histories & private accounts by the citizens of Civil War-era Martinsburg, MURDER AT CONFEDERATE HEADQUARTERS will electrify anyone who has ever wondered what it was like to live in the midst of that awesome struggle.
