    "All the Dead Shall Weep" by Charlaine Harris
    From Saga Press a Simon and Shuster imprint copyright 2023
    Sold then at $28.99. I got this copy at the SFPL where I have
    gotten all the rest of the series and if you have not read the
    earlier books in the series you are missing a treat. Also there
    are maps in the earlier books about arrangements of political
    power.
    This the 5th Book in the epic of Lizbeth Rose the gunnie in a story
    happening about the 1930s in a strange political arrangement
    of North America. The USA has disintegrated from the Union with
    Dixie taking itself away, William Randoph Hearst invited the deposed
    and exiled Tsar and his court to California and now the capital of the
    Holy Russian Empire is in San Diego. Lisbeth lives in Texhoma in a
    small town Segundo Mexia. She makes her living as a hired gun to
    protect travelers and shipments. Bandits are all over the place and
    Indians are at hand but not attacking generally. Militias are stirring
    though and Lizbeth and her half-Sister Felicai have just been reunited
    along with Peter, the brother of her husband Eli. Then the strange
    militia attacks Segundo Mexia. It takes some time but they are looking
    for wizards, Peter and Eli (both wizards called grigori) follow
    them ...
    Felicia, a death wizard, and Lizbet follow them. Quite a lot happens
    as might be expected in a Harris book.

    Not secret is the fact that like all the other books by Charlaine Harris
    I enjoyed this very much.
