Announcing my newest novel, “Hid Wounded Reb“
A novel in the Somerset Series
By Jeff Salter
Everyone has secrets… some just hold theirs tighter.
—
Cold secrets are finally warming up… and Kelly can feel the heat.
Kelly is haunted by the mysterious involvement of her landlord’s ancestor with a wounded soldier in 1863, while her boyfriend researches the unsolved murder of an unidentified horseman in that same Kentucky community a few years after the Civil War. As Kelly and Mitch assist each other’s research, tantalizing discoveries seem to connect their subjects.
Kelly’s initial assignment is to research the cemetery which started 144 years ago with the death of a battle-wounded Rebel hidden briefly in the Butler family cabin. But the actual facts are clouded with hazy family legends, including possible involvement of a second soldier — the dead man’s cavalry buddy. Mitch’s belated study of the stranger murdered at the church yard has also hit baffling snags.
When surprising old documents surface and rekindle fading memories, the uncovered secrets could help solve both cold cases. But those investigations are hampered when Kelly harbors a terrified girl (with her own complicated secrets) who brings danger close behind.

Thanks, Dianne. If you enjoyed Kelly & Mitch from “Called to Arms Again”, I think you’ll like them in this story also.
This was actually the second novel I wrote (of 9 completed so far)… though it had to go through 2 or 3 major overhauls (over 5 yrs) before it was able to see publication this month.

Fascinating, Jeff. I’d like to hear about the research you did for this,
Best of luck with this one!

Thanks, Tonette. Most of my original research was way back in 2007. And the draft has changed so much during that time, that I can scarcely remember anymore. But I’m sure I have a box full of notes!

Congratulations, Jeff, on another great book! Wishing you lotsa sales 🙂 … And I have to admit, I had to google parts of the title, but since then, I’m really intrigued and hope to have it as my “holiday” read in a few weeks !

Thanks, Iris. Hope you do get a chance to read it. And hope you’ll enjoy it. It’s close to my heart because my wife’s ancestors literally risked their lives to help that wounded Confederate solder… after a local battle in Yankee-occupied Somerset.
