A Hostage to Heritage: a Michael Stoddard American Revolution Thriller Suzanne Adair

Book #2 of Suzanne Adair's Michael Stoddard American Revolution Thrillers Series.
 
A boy kidnapped for ransom. And a madman who didn't bargain on Michael Stoddard's tenacity.
 
Spring 1781. The American Revolution enters its seventh grueling year. In Wilmington, North Carolina, redcoat investigator Lieutenant Michael Stoddard expects to round up two miscreants before Lord Cornwallis's army arrives for supplies. But his quarries' trail crosses with that of a criminal who has abducted a high-profile English heir. Michael's efforts to track down the boy plunge him into a twilight of terror from radical insurrectionists, whiskey smugglers, and snarled secrets out of his own past in Yorkshire.
