“Bristling with intelligent suspense . . . this superb piece of period fiction will appeal to both Civil War buffs and fans of historical mysteries.” —Booklist
Union Major Abel Jones, Welsh immigrant and veteran of Britain’s distant wars, survives Shiloh’s slaughter only to face the riddle of a different kind of massacre. Not far from the cries and smoke of combat, murdered slaves hang at a crossroads. Their blood may be on Northern as well as Southern hands, with devastating political repercussions. In a country shocked by casualty lists and unready for emancipation, only one man insists on justice—a plain-speaking officer with a Welsh lilt, a limp, and his own troubled conscience. The chain of death soon proves as brutal and consuming as the war itself, dragging Major Jones into a dark world of midnight savagery, terrible secrets, and sudden combat, as desperate men and women struggle to survive the fury of a divided nation. Suspenseful, swift-paced, surprisingly humorous, and populated with unforgettable characters, Call Each River Jordan offers a fresh and haunting vision of a past still with us today.
“An exceptionally fine historical novel. Owen Parry deserves to be ranked with the best Civil War novelists.” —The Flint Journal
“Parry’s knowledge of the era is nicely on display here: his scenes of Corinth, Mississippi, and its sheltered wounded are vibrant, with a haunting eye for detail . . . well informed and evocatively written.” —Kirkus Reviews
“A gripping story . . . astounding battle scenes . . . this novel stands out.” —Publishers Weekly
