The main character has a simple assignment to go to a cafe in Georgia, ask for a mint daiquiri and wait for information about his next case. En route his car is struck by a cannonball on a rural back road. It ends up that he and his partner have been hired by an eccentric, wealthy family whose oldest member believes he is a Confederate general. One of the General's grandsons has disappeared while a man claiming to be a long-lost relative has turned up dead. As the investigation proceeds a confusing array of odd characters and groups muddy the water and put the Yankee detectives in danger.
