Burning Chambersburg (The Jonah Harlan Novels)

By: Steven Infanti

The war has come home again.

By the summer of 1864, Jonah Harlan had spent more than a year following the paper trail left by free Black Pennsylvanians kidnapped during the Confederate invasion and sold into slavery.

Samuel Odell has chosen another road. He enlists in the United States Colored Troops and discovers that wearing a Union uniform offers neither equality nor protection when Black soldiers fall into Confederate hands.

Then, the Confederate cavalry rides north again. Their target is Chambersburg. The demand is impossible. Pay an enormous ransom or watch the town burn.

As flames consume homes, churches, businesses, and generations of records, Ruth Odell and those left behind fight desperately to save something more valuable than property: the books containing the names of the stolen, the missing, and the people still waiting to be found.

Because buildings can be rebuilt. Names lost to the fire may be gone forever.

Burning Chambersburg, Book Four of the Jonah Harlan Novels, is a sweeping Civil War thriller of battlefield survival, espionage, vengeance, and ordinary people fighting to preserve the truth while their town burns around them.
