Jo Durbin, an embedded reporter, covers the reenactment of the War of 1812, America’s forgotten war. Should be a piece of cake. Plenty of action, faux dead bodies, pretend battles, a weeping widow, even the everyday lives of the RVers and the activities of their children—all fodder for her pen. Except—there’s a real body, forgotten in the grass.
As the victim’s checkered past emerges, suspects multiply, including the police themselves, a couple of the reenactors, and even the mayor. Jo’s young friend might be involved—if not as the killer, then as one being protected by others.
When children are endangered, Jo follows a figment of her imagination to find the killer, despite any help or hindrance from her sister, a friend, and the man who wants to be more than a friend.
