Death of a patriot

In 1838, American militia is raiding across the border, intent on annexing the Canadian provinces by any means necessary. Following a battle along the border, a high-ranking American officer is wounded and captured, but his boasts of escape and revenge are cut short when he is poisoned in his cell. All fingers point to Billy McNair, a young Canadian militia officer. Into this turmoil steps Marc Edwards, a decorated army officer who has traded his military uniform for a lawyer<U+2019>s robes. Marc is convinced that the accused is innocent, and he sets forth to track down the killer. But everyone has an agenda, some personal and some political. Marc must rely on his every skill to secure a future not only for his friend but for his entire country.
