Jack MacLeod and Doc Gray are back, fighting to stop a conspiracy that should have died with the Confederacy. Hidden since the end of the Civil War, the Knights of the Golden Circle have survived to quietly infest the highest levels of government and business. Now the KGC is making its move, using deceit and violence in a bid to dramatically expand the borders of the United States. And the only thing standing in their way are one battered fraud investigator and his friend, the ex-Navy SEAL Doc Gray. With a little help from the FBI and Special Agent in Charge Andrew McCoy, Jack and Doc will weave their way from the battleground at Cross Keys to the mountains of western Virginia in a fight to stop the KGC and its plans. The Knights have money, power and weapons, but they've picked on the wrong man. They've shot him, beaten him, tortured him, killed a friend and taken his money and honor. For the Knights of the Golden Circle, it's just about business and profits. But for MacLeod, it's about getting even.
