Soul Catcher

by Michael C. White (Author)

Synopsis

Augustus Cain is a man with his back against the wall. A war-scarred wanderer, he faces a past he wants to forget, a present without prospect or fortune, and an uncertain future marred by the loss of his most prized possession - his horse - which he has carelessly gambled away. But he is not without skill - he has an uncanny, if unwelcome, ability to track the most elusive runaway slaves. And to repay a debt and keep his horse, he must head north from Virginia and retrieve a runaway named Rosetta. When he eventually runs Rosetta to ground in Boston, Cain discovers she carries a secret - and the size of the bounty on her head begins to make more sense. Fleeing the northern states pursued by a posse of Unionists, Cain finds himself increasingly drawn to Rosetta and starts to wonder if his five hundred dollar fee - if any fee - could ever be enough to return her to her master...

Media Reviews
One of our finest novelists - Anita Shreve, author of Sea Glass * Anita Shreve *
This book will be compared to Cold Mountain, of course, but White's book is a more dramatic narrative and every bit as richly detailed and beautifully written - Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls * Richard Russo *
