Bookroo's summary

In a town gripped by Civil War reenactment fever, tensions rise as residents choose sides. Confederate and Union sympathizers clash, but the real mystery begins when someone starts digging large, secretive holes on the battlefield. Is this a harmless prank or a sinister plot? As suspicions grow, the question remains: who is behind this and what are they planning? Dive into a tale of intrigue where history and mystery collide.

From the publisher

A Civil War reenactment should be fun, right? Not in our town! It feels like war fever’s taken over. The tension started to build when we all chose sides. Confederate and Union sympathizers never did mix. And if that wasn’t enough to heat things up, someone started to secretly dig large holes in the battlefield. Pretty odd – and very suspicious. Is someone waging a little war of their own, and trying to cheat? And if so, the bigger question is why?
