Synopsis

When Stephen MacKinnon became the Chief of Police of Talmine, a small and peaceful town, he hoped he was leaving the stressful life of murder investigation behind. But then, an unidentified female body dressed in a Confederate uniform is found at a Civil War re-enactment battle held in the town's park. Aided by his wife, a former crime analyst, MacKinnon begins an investigation that puts his job and their lives in danger. MacKinnon learns the dead woman was a former employee of the Library of Congress and may have stolen Robert E. Lee's 'Lost Order' - a message found by Union troops that changed the course of the Civil War, the bloody battle of Antietam. More than 140 years have passed since that battle, yet the Lost Order still seems to have an ability to generate death and suffering. The killer will stop at nothing to possess the valuable document - and MacKinnon must place himself in the line of fire to catch the murderer.
