A Revolutionary Murder is a fast‑paced, atmospheric mystery set at a Revolutionary War reenactment camp - where the past isn't just remembered... it kills.
When guest historian Professor Andaya steps onto the Blackwood Valley reenactment grounds, he expects wool uniforms, black‑powder muskets, and harmless historical drama. Instead, he walks into a powder keg of rival regiments, forged artifacts, stolen state grants, and a mysterious extra soldier who appears on the morning roster... then vanishes.
"He was pale-almost bloodless-with hollow cheeks and dark, intense eyes..." - Chapter 2
When a musket volley erupts during the afternoon battle, one shot rings sharper than the rest - and reenactor Jonas Pike collapses with a very real bullet wound. In the chaos, the ghost recruit disappears into the smoke.
As state police lock down the camp, Andaya uncovers a chilling truth: the killer didn't just hide in the ranks - he timed the murder to the millisecond, using the synchronized musket volley as perfect cover.
Now, with hundreds of reenactors trapped on the grounds, Andaya must navigate:
Bitter rivalries between authenticity‑obsessed regiments
A forged artifact scandal
A hidden cache of stolen grant money
A dead man's brother returned from the shadows
A killer who knows the firing cadence better than anyone
"The perfect murder had just been committed in front of five hundred witnesses..." - Chapter 8
A Revolutionary Murder blends historical atmosphere, modern intrigue, and a locked‑camp mystery into a tight, cinematic thriller perfect for fans of One‑Hour Mysteries, regional crime fiction, and high‑concept whodunits.
