The novel has a very interesting structure with two parallel narratives set 150 years apart. One is set at the time of the U.S. Civil War and involves an attempt by a Union spy to infiltrate a secret Confederate attempt to obtain and smuggle out of the country enough gold to turn international opinion in their favour. The second parallel story is set in the present day and follows an FBI agent attempting to locate where the gold was hidden at the end of the war and whose daughter has been kidnapped by another group also after the gold.
The characters are all believable and even though we know that the two stories will eventually overlap (geographically, wherever the gold is hidden), the journeys of both groups of characters is thoroughly enjoyable.
In addition, the inclusion of what seem to be accurate historical references about the Civil War in general, and the Battle Of Gettysburg in particular, added for me at least another dimension to the story.
A solid 4 1/2 stars out of 5. Recommended.… (mer)
