A FADED COAT OF BLUE

Paul Boehmer makes the opening lines of A FADED COAT OF BLUE almost poetry. It is 1861, and Anthony Fowler, a young Union officer known for his virtue and zeal to abolish slavery, is found dead on the sentry lines outside of Washington, D.C.--where he had no business being. Is it a Confederate assassination or personal revenge within the Union camp? General McClellan chooses Abel Jones, a Welsh immigrant officer, to investigate the death. What he finds is intrigue beyond his wildest imagination and imminent danger to himself. Boehmer's captivating narration heightens the building suspense with each new twist in this story of love, honor, and country. P.G. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 01]
