I came across Home Front by John Bray on the free offers on Kindle today. Looks like a good historical adventure set in the Civil War. Lincoln got me interested in that period - so worth getting.

A great nation is at war with itself.

A young and penniless boy - Johnny Madigan - lies about his age to become a Union Soldier.

But after fighting his way through some of the most brutal conflicts of the American Civil War and surviving terrible wounds Johnny Madigan now faces an even deadlier battlefield.

He must fight on the Home Front.

Johnny has proved himself a skilled spy. His commanders send him back to
to New York to penetrate an underground counterfeiting gang supplying forged US currency to the enemy South.

As he infiltrates the deadly cabal of plotters, he is sent to Canada where a murderous Confederate spy ring is plotting an armed uprising to take over New York City and hold it hostage - and so win the War for the Confederacy.

But in Canada, it is impossible for Johnny to tell which side is which.

Suspected by some of the plotters, he is seduced by the beautiful Letitia – herself a key member of the gang.

Her orders are to expose him.

Johnny’s dream is to return to childhood sweetheart, Deidre, who kept him alive as a destitute youth in the city’s slums.

But Letitia is impossible for any man to resist.

At stake is Johnny's heart, his life - and the outcome of the Civil War itself.

'Home Front' is an immaculately researched and fast-paced historical thriller that plunges the reader right into the murky depths of intrigue, plot and counter-plot that became the dark underside of the War Between the States.
