In 1866, Irish immigrant Catriona O’Toole arrives in Franklin with her young sister, searching for a twin brother last reported near the Battle of Franklin. Former Union soldier Wade Cunningham is working for the newly established United States Secret Service, infiltrating a postwar counterfeiting network. When Catriona’s money proves suspicious, the woman he wants to help becomes part of his investigation.
The mystery uses counterfeit currency to explore the unstable meanings of loyalty and truth in Reconstruction Tennessee. Catriona’s family grief and Wade’s wartime memories bring them back to Carnton, where Christian redemption requires them to confront prejudice, exploitation and the compromises people make when lawful institutions are still fragile.
