An Alternate Selection of the Literary Guild® John Jakes, the acclaimed author of the #1 New York Times bestselling North and South Trilogy , returns to the Civil War with On Secret Service —the story of two couples, divided by war and allegiance, who discover that love doesn’t take sides. A Rebel sympathizer’s affection for a former Pinkerton detective turned Union agent cannot save him from the horrors of a Richmond prison.

Overshadowing them all is an actor’s outspoken hatred of Abraham Lincoln—and a date with destiny that would shock a nation and change the course of history…
