Book
Land of the Shadow
First published 1993
Paul Bristol becomes entangled in intelligence work as the Civil War turns familiar communities into contested ground. Secrecy places strain on affection and conscience, and the danger of betrayal follows him beyond formal battle lines.
The novel combines espionage, romance and Christian moral conflict. It uses the uncertain methods of Civil War intelligence to explore whether loyalty can survive deception and whether service to a cause excuses harm to individuals.
