A Mission for Dignity
When former Pinkerton Talbot Roper receives a job offer from an ailing Civil War veteran whose Medal of Honor is about to be revoked, he agrees to help his fellow serviceman. Some believe that Howard Westover s medal was undeserved, but Roper is determined to track down the men who served with him and get their signed affidavits to prove that his Medal of Honor was earned
But Roper s journey is soon derailed when he discovers that two of his contacts are already dead one hanged twenty years ago, one murdered minutes before his arrival. The men who served with Westover are being hunted down, and Roper s increasingly dangerous investigation earns him the next spot on the hit list. Aware that someone has been lying to him, Roper can stay one step ahead of the assassin. But the question remains: Will his quick wit be enough to save him from the line of fire and secure a dying man s legacy?"
