Cold Glory by B. Kent Anderson

History Professor Nick Journey is shocked when a document dating back to the civil war is discovered during an expansion project in Oklahoma. He is intrigue by the wording of the document and by the gold pin with the letters GW which was also found. Before Nick can delve into the historical implications of the document he is attacked by two men with guns. In his efforts to escape, he hits one of the men with a car killing him.

Nick never expected that a piece of paper written during the civil war would start a chain of events that could culminate in the death of the President of the United States. Meg Tolman works for an obscure branch of the government and is the only one who believe the theory that Nick believes the paper discloses. An illusive group called the Glory Warriors spanning the generations since the civil war can still be active is amazing.

This is a wonderful story. I don't normally seek out historical type fiction, but this one intrigued me. As I was reading it brought to mind stories like Dan Brown's Angels & Demons and the movie National Treasure. I was totally engrossed and wanted to find out what would happen next. The development of the relationship between Nick and his Autistic son Andrew helped to make Nick a more personable character.

Hope there will a new series on the horizon!
