Deadly Occupation A Michael Stoddard American Revolution Mystery [Paperback]

A wayward wife, a weapons trafficker, and a woman with second sightits a puzzle that would have daunted any investigator. But Michael Stoddard wasnt just any investigator. Late January 1781, in coastal North Carolina, patriots flee before the approach of the Eighty-Second Regiment, leaving behind defenseless civilians to surrender the town of Wilmington to the Crown. The regiments commander assigns Lieutenant Michael Stoddard the tasks of tracking down a missing woman and probing into the suspicious activities of an unusual church. But as soon as Michael starts sniffing around, he discovers that some of those not-so-defenseless civilians are desperately hiding a history of evil.
