Union Army sharpshooter Jed Wells was one of them, and he was sworn to share the tales of those who suffered and died beside him. It is a promise that has brought Jed to Kansas and to small-town sheriff Amos Broughton, a friend and fellow survivor of hell on earth. But Broughtons dangerous obsession with a mysterious man threatens to explode in a vengeful rain of bullets and death-forcing Jed Wells to take up his rifle to save a soul damned by terrible secrets that are buried with the bones of captured soldiers in the Georgia mud.GOLD FEVERUnion Army sharpshooter Jed Wells met the possibly mad artist Josephus McCade when they were prisoners in Andersonville, and he remembers well the strange mans rants about a key to unimaginable wealth.

But the artists charmed life may soon be coming to a brutal end, thanks to a secret he will tell no one-a mystery thats pulling Jed Wells himself into the gunsight of a killer.
