Greed, betrayal, two tons of Confederate gold and an odd substance called uranium come together on America's deadliest day. A doctor, his slave and two lawmen with competing loyalties must solve a mystery while surviving the battle of Antietam. Everyone has their secrets, nothing and no one is what they seem and the body count only grows. Love Strong As Death is set in the Civil War and centers on the deadliest day of that conflict, but it is much more than that. It is a murder mystery with more twists and turns than the Antietam Creek. Three days before the battle, two men lie dead on the bank of that creek, dueling pistols in their hands. Two lawmen with competing loyalties investigate the case. Albrecht Hiedler is the local county sheriff; John Dingleberry is a federal marshal. They soon discover one of the duelers is black, which is unheard-of. They call a local doctor in to examine the bodies. Solon Carter is a brilliant physician with an odd secret: he has never learned to read and write. He is an Abolitionist, fundamentally opposed to the institution of slavery, but he owns a slave. Columbia is mentally retarded but can read, and in fact remembers everything she reads. She is Carter's secretary and his ward. The doctor and the lawmen discover that the white dueler, a local merchant named Peter Kraft, has two tons of gold bars in his storehouse. They can't decide what to do with it, so they lock it in the doctor's storehouse. Columbia then points out an odd fact that the three men confirm: each of the duelers was killed with his own pistol. The case becomes a murder investigation. The doctor does an autopsy on Kraft's body. He discovers that the dead man's eyes had been removed and replaced with lead balls. The next day a man and woman arrive at Dr. Carter's home. Hermann von Habsburg is the brother-in-law of the late Peter Kraft and his presumptive heir; he is an exiled member of one of the royal families of Europe; and he is senile and cannot speak. His daughter Maria handles his business affairs. The doctor and the lawmen tell her about the strange circumstances of her uncle's death but not about the gold. That night the doctor's storehouse catches fire. The gold bars ignite, something gold is not supposed to do, and burn with a furious flame. He is left the next morning to explain to the lawmen what happened. The three men struggle to make sense of the matter. They learn a few things from a local slave but end up more confused than ever. They discover that the gold bars were not gold at all but a strange substance called uranium. It is a worthless metal but it is one of the few substances that is as dense as gold. And the world supply of the metal is controlled by the von Habsburg family. Early the next morning, Maria von Habsburg and her father arrive at the doctor's door unexpectedly. A battle was starting and she did not know where else to turn. The doctor puts her, her father and Columbia into his buggy and heads away from the sound of the battle. He unwittingly sends them into the cornfield which is to see the deadliest action of the battle of Antietam. Almost immediately, Doctor Carter and Maria become separated from his slave and her father. For the next few days they must struggle to stay alive and solve a mystery that threatens to consume them. Love Strong As Death is meticulously researched, bringing the reader through an almost hour-by-hour chronicle of the deadliest single day in American history. It is also a fast-paced thriller and a gripping mystery.
