Description

The grittiness of life in revolutionary America comes alive in this tale of mystery, suspense, and romance. The multifaceted characters, the well-researched history, and the dramatic and stunning climax make this novel "absolutely brilliant from start to finish." (The Coffee Pot Book Club)

Tidewater Virginia, 1781

Captain Niall McLane might think he has endured the worst that could happen to any man, but as the American Revolution draws toward an end, he finds his troubles have just begun. A survivor of wilderness warfare, Niall hopes to leave his violent past behind. After reuniting with his wartime friend and former soldier, Andrew Wade, he accepts a job at Wade's plantation, where he bonds with Wade's young wife, Clarice. For a time, his future seems brighter. But when a gruesome murder occurs at the plantation, bearing all the hallmarks of Niall's formidable skills, the local sheriff and townspeople deem him the prime suspect.

Only Clarice and Andrew Wade stand by him. With their help, Niall manages to stay out of jail. But the murders continue, each more horrific than the last, leaving him no choice but to hunt down a killer whose next victim might be the woman Niall loves.

From the mysterious forests of Kentucky to a war-torn Virginia plantation, A Devil of a Time weaves a tale of courage, betrayal, and forbidden love, of a driven man grappling with a demon from his past, and the remarkable woman destined to change all their lives forever.

MATURE CONTENT: This novel borders on American Gothic, with dark themes, a strong romantic element, and integral violence that some readers might find disturbing. Reader discretion is advised.

PLEASE NOTE: A Devil of a Time was originally published under a different book cover image. The text remains the same.
