During the 1892 riot in La Ascension, Mexico, Mormon colonist Edmund Richardson discovers no one has informed the jefe politico that revoltosos have overrun the town and murdered its presidente, so he volunteers to sneak past the rioters with a message.

 

But Edmund’s disguise hides him only at night. With his enemies patrolling the streets and daylight fast approaching, he’s as safe as dry grass near a flame.

 

Perfect for those who enjoy suspenseful historical fiction based on actual events. Under the Cover of Darkness is a side story to Neighbors Across the River, chronologically the second in the Mormon Colonists and Mexican Rebels Series. All books in the series can be read as standalone novels.
