Insurrecto: A Murder in the Far East

By Michael Regal

A Historical Detective Mystery of Empire, War, and Blood-Stained Secrets

In the year 1900, during the chaos of the Philippine-American War, a decorated U.S. colonel is found murdered on a remote jungle island-shot cleanly through the skull inside his own tent. No witnesses. No signs of a break-in. Just whispers of ghosts, revolutionaries, and something far darker hiding in the shadows.

Agent Jim Garland, former Pinkerton detective and reluctant military investigator, is sent to solve the mystery. What he finds instead is a slow descent into madness and betrayal, where superstition, politics, and colonial vengeance all collide.

This is not just a war story. Insurrecto is a gritty historical detective mystery that blends the investigative tension of The Alienist with the war-haunted backdrop of The Sympathizer. Rich in period detail and driven by morally complex characters, it's a novel for fans of detective fiction with teeth.
