Gray

by Jack Trammell, Thriller

When Confederate bodies are accidentally excavated at a construction site, the peace in Richmond, Virginia is broken by a string of bizarre murders. All of the victims work for the northern construction firm building the new structure, which inadvertantly rests on the site of a mysterious Civil War tragedy. A jaded homicide detective, an energetic social worker, a nosy reporter, and two bickering historians all team up to solve a mystery in the present that started many years ago with the murder of an entire company of Confederate soldiers. With millions at stake for the northern firm, and a raging debate over the painful past and its symbols, the Civil War is fought again in "Gray."

Interesting History Mystery

I enjoyed this book because I am familiar with the area and could visualize where the story was taking place. The characters were believable and I liked most of them. An entertaining and well written book.
