The Oyster Wars

Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, November 1867. It is a time in our history when local oystermen battle greedy poachers over rich beds of "white gold" and young men are shanghaied into servitude to ruthless boat captains. Haynie McKenna's search for one victim pits him against a sharpshooting assassin, a cabal of former confederate officers, and his own family ghosts.
