In this mystery by an Edgar Awardโwinning author, a โbreezy, unpretentious and warm-hearted heroโ gets mixed up with an eccentric socialiteโand murder (Publishers Weekly).
ย Few American novels are as beloved as Alma Glazeโs Revolutionary War epic, Oh, Shenandoah. Although Glaze died before she could write a sequel, she left behind an outline for one, along with instructions that it not be written until fifty years after her death. The deadline has passed, and the American public clamors for the long-promised Sweet Land of Liberty. Only one thing stands in its way: Glazeโs heirs.ย Her daughter, socialite Mavis Glaze, is writing the novel under guidance from her mother, who she claims has been appearing in her dreams. As Mavisโs writing spirals farther into madness, her brothers hire Stewart Hoag, a ghostwriter famous for dealing with troublesome celebrities. When he arrives at the familyโs Virginia manor, he finds that Almaโs is not the only unsettled spirit. Blood was spilt for Oh, Shenandoah, and more will die before the sequel hits the bestseller list.
