Brabhams novel unveils the shrouded story of the enigmatic John Burnsidefrom his last day in New Orleans to his homeland in Northern Ireland. It opens with the powerful, but ailing, entrepreneur and his ever-dependable valet, Jupiter Jones, as they step from their carriage at the train station in New Orleans. Almost everyone, especially the Irish immigrants, knew John personally or by reputation. Following the Civil War, he had pioneered the use of free labor in his sugar mills and plantations.
