Publisher's Synopsis
From the bestselling author of the SHARPE SERIES Nathaniel Starbuck is a Copperhead: a northerner who fights for the rebellious south in the American Civil War. Blooded at the battle of Bull Run, he now faces the second northern invasion of the Confederate States of America. That invasion is led by the North's new bright hope, Young Napoleon himself, General McClellan, who will lead the northern forces to the very gates of Richmond, the rebel capital. The survival of the Confederacy depends not just on defeating McClellan's huge army, but also on outfoxing Allen Pinkerton, the North's spymaster, whose shadowy agents have reached into the heart of the South's government and army.
