Read Slaves of Obsession Storyline:

The year is 1861. The American Civil War has
just begun, and London arms dealer Daniel Alberton is becoming a very wealthy
man. His quiet dinner party seems remote indeed from the passions rending
America. Yet investigator William Monk and his bride, Hester, sense growing
tensions and barely concealed violence. For two of the guests are Americans,
each vying to buy Alberton’s armaments. Soon Monk and Hester’s forebodings are
fulfilled as one member of the party is brutally murdered and two others
disappear– along with Alberton’s entire inventory of weapons. As Monk and Hester
track the man they believe to be the murderer all the way to Washington, D.C.,
and the bloody battlefield at Manassas, Slaves of Obsession twists and
turns like a powder-keg fuse and holds the reader breathless and spellbound. . .
