Human efforts to move crops from one place to another have been a key driving force in history. Crops have been on the move for millennia, from wildlands into fields, from wetlands to dry zones, from one imperial colony to another. This book is a bold but approachable attempt to redefine historical inquiry based on the “cropscape”: the assemblage of people, places, creatures, technologies, and other elements that form around a crop.

Dante is back but he's not an agent anymore. Working undercover as a confidential informant for the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, he is sent to New York on loan to the New York City Police Department to help solve the theft of a million dollars worth of contraband drug evidence from the Departments Property Clerks Office. Teamed with detectives from a highly sensitive and secret unit working directly for the Police Commissioner, Dante must face Mafia gangsters and crooked detectives bent on preventing him from uncovering the truth.

In this sequel to the acclaimed Ballad of Johnny Madigan, Johnny - older than his years, but much younger than believed by the army, battle-hardened and a master of espionage - is sent back to New York to penetrate an underground counterfeiting gang supplying forged US currency to the enemy South. His assignment takes him to Canada where a murderous Confederate spy ring is plotting an armed uprising to take over New York City and hold it hostage.

Dante Falconieri is a DEA undercover agent assigned to a task force organized to expose corrupt police officers in New York City. His world-weariness leads him into a dark place from which he must extricate himself.

Johnny Madigan is orphaned, penniless, and just 16 years old. He tells a Union Army recruiting sergeant he is 18 and old enough to fight. But is he - or indeed any man - ready to be thrown into the horrors of the American Civil War? On the bloody field of the Battle of Fredericksburg, as thousands of young men in both blue and grey are brutally cut down, the boy becomes a man. And he is thrown into a man's battle.
