(Dramatic historical novel based on a true-life heroine of...)
Dramatic historical novel based on a true-life heroine of the Civil War, Elizabeth Van Lew, a Southern who loved the Union, and hated slavery enough risk her life in the service of the North and ultimately her nation. Though people in Richmond called her "Crazy Bet" in her frowzy bonnet and dress simpering coquettishly under a rakish parasol, she was a familiar figure pottering around the streets of the Confederate capital. She was considered harmlessly insane by all that knew her, from Jefferson davis on down. But, Pinkerton-trained detective Scarborough suspected her as a master spy but was unable to prove it, and could not convince others. However, in fact the real Elizabeth protrayed a dim-witted woman but was a cool-headed woman in reality, commanding a network of agents for the North, and forwarding essential information to Washington. In her secret attic room, she hid Union prisoners, tus is the setting for this exciting suspenseful historical novel. When she takes in Vermont soldier, Captain Will, she becomes embroiled in a grand plan to capture Richmond, what ensures is a tale of plotting and counterplot, of relentless pursuit, and of harrowing military action. Those enjoying a good historical novel and a bout a forgotten hero of the Civil War will enjoy this novel.
