Debut author, Alberto Rios Arias� new novel, A Death for Beauty, has hit the shelves with an unequivocal nod from his core audience of Literary Historical Mystery fans. The already popular novel on websites such as Goodreads.com and LibraryThing.com has struck a chord with many readers and Civil War enthusiasts alike.

However, to say that this unusual story is about the Civil War would be an understatement indeed. As Arias himself describes his book as �a hybrid of indescribable proportions�, and believes that crossover stories such as this have created, or at the very least, tapped into an entirely new market of book lovers.

Arias observes:
�I think readers of historical fiction today are looking for more than fact-inspired stories that stretch the truth or sometimes blur the facts entirely into oblivion. They want to read something that not only inspires them, but moves them emotionally.�

This story, inspired by true events, and set during the Civil War, is packed with themes and motifs that connect with readers at an emotional level yet at the same time, stays true to the storyline and historical facts. It�s a win-win scenario.
