Death on the Line

He signed on to map the New World, not solve a murder. But his dream job just became his worst nightmare. Angus, an outcast with no formal education, had no opportunity to prove himself until Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon hired him as an assistant in the American colonies. The contentious Maryland-Pennsylvania border had seen eighty years of skirmishes. But tensions reach a boiling point when Angus stumbles over a dead body. Suspects abound, including locals who spy on each other and native tribes who claim the land. When an incompetent sheriff is determined to arrest Angus, the game changes from drawing a line on the ground to defining the line between good and evil. Will Angus catch the real culprit? Or will it be his head in the noose? From the treacherous crossing of the stormy Atlantic to the wild, untamed wilderness of Colonial Pennsylvania, Death on the Line is a rich, entertaining tale of a moment in American history and a young man’s quest to make something of himself.
