The River's Edge: Historical Memphis Book 1 Kindle Edition

by Sabra Waldfogel (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating
Step into 1863 Memphis, where the occupied city seethes with tensions—and dangerous secrets.

When a Union officer turns up dead in a shadowy alley, Elias Aronson—a sharp-witted Manhattan lawyer serving as aide-de-camp at Fort Pickering—is ordered to uncover the truth. But in a city where lies flow as freely as whiskey, neither Black nor white residents will talk.

Frustrated but determined, Elias teams up with Lydia Owens, an intrepid widow from upstate New York who’s come South to teach the newly freed slaves. Together, they navigate Memphis’s underbelly of corruption and vice, piecing together clues as their partnership deepens into something more. Caught in a web of deceit and danger, Elias and Lydia must hurry to uncover the truth—before they become the murderer’s next targets.

Ready for a historical mystery with heart and danger? Read The River’s Edge now!

    5.0 out of 5 stars 1863 Memphis Brought to Life in The River's Edge
    Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2025
    Format: Paperback
    Wow! Sabra Waldfogel did it again -- wrote another page-turner historical novel jam packed with new bits of information about a fascinating time in American history. The plot is riveting, and the characters were well drawn. I was attracted to learning about what life was like as the Civil War was occurring. Reading The River's Edge brought the period alive for me!
