Description

When Johnny Came Marching Home tells the story of three childhood friends who go off to fight in America's Civil War. When the war comes to an end one boy has been buried, another left with only one arm and the last returns as an unfeeling psychopath who is subsequently murdered. His wounded friend investigates the circumstances surrounding the murder, seeking a chance at redemption. Vividly presented, this is a story of all wars and the horrors young soldiers face. It is a mystery, a love story and Heffernan's best novel to date.
