On a spring morning in 1872, former Civil War officer Ben Champion is discovered dead in his Chicago bedroom—a bayonet protruding from his back. What starts as a routine case for Detective Frank Hanley soon becomes anything but, as his investigation into Champion’s life turns up hidden truths best left buried. Meanwhile, Rivka Kelmansky’s long-lost brother, Aaron, arrives on her doorstep, along with his mulatto wife and son. Fugitives from an attack by night riders, Aaron and his family know too much about past actions that still threaten powerful men—defective guns provided to Union soldiers, and an 1864 conspiracy to establish Chicago as the capital of a Northwest Confederacy. Champion had his own connection to that conspiracy, along with ties to a former slave now passing as white and an escaped Confederate guerrilla bent on vengeance, any of which might have led to his death. Hanley and Rivka must untangle this web of circumstances, amid simmering hostilities still present seven years after the end of the Civil War, as they race against time to solve the murder, before the secrets of bygone days claim more victims.

This is written by a fellow author from Allium Press of Chicago. In the second book of this series, Rivka, a young woman from an orthodox Jewish background and Hanley, a young police detective of Irish background engage against the backdrop of Chicago soon after the fire of 1871. They met in the first book when Rivka’s father was killed. This book, like the first one, starts with a flashback to a violent episode in the past. This time it is a snapshot of Yankee soldiers fighting Confederate bushwackers and the confrontation between a former slave and a former slaveholder. When a former Yankee officer is found dead, and Rivka’s long lost brother returns with an ex-slave as a wife, the impact of the past on their present struggles is revealed.It is an engaging second outing for these characters and we can hope for more. You get a real sense of the tensions in the young city of Chicago in these stories. Allium’s motto is “rescuing Chicago from Capone… one book at a time” and this series paints a picture of an earlier period than the days of gangsters. It is one of a number of books by the press that cover Chicago architecture in the 1880’s (Honor Above All), progressive politics of Hull House and other groups in the 1890’s (Death at Hull House, Her Mother’s Secret) and the lives of early Chicagoans in the first couple of decades of the twentieth century (Beautiful Dreamer, The Reason for Time). Chicago is a quintessential American city with many people in its past who deserve to be remembered. This is one of the books that succeeds in conjuring up one of those earlier times.

For You Were Strangers Hanley Rivka Mysteries Book 2 edition by D M Pirrone Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
Good story and I love the historical descriptions of Chicago and the neighborhoods and people!
Great story, well written. Gives a great picture of Chicago post-fire and weaves a story of the Civil War at the same time. Hope there are more Hanley and Rivka mysteries.
Another great story with continuing characters from Ms. Pirrone's previous novel, "Shall We Not Revenge". Like her previous novel, this book does not disappoint. Ms. Pirrone has a way of making her characters believable. Her story weaves history, religion, social issues, mystery and romance in a storyline I hate to see come to an end, and has me looking forward to her next Hanley and Rivka adventure.
