"With A GOOD SOLDIER, Jeffrey Marks captures an intriguing new side of General U.S. Grant, and the interplay between Grant and Julia, the love of his life, rings true. Young Jess Grant is full of boyish curiosity while Grant's irascible father, Jesse R. Grant, could easily drive Grant to drink. In this outing, the future President's detecting abilities are put to the test as he discovers secrets and greed and finds how even small communities like Bethel, Ohio, can harbor good people gone bad." —Jan Grape, author of Austin City Blue and a short story in The First Lady Murders, titled, "Julia Dent Grant, a.k.a. Private Eye."
