Infos

A Publishers Weekly Best Mystery of the Year in the series praised as ';The Last of the Mohicans meets Braveheart, with a curious dash of CSI' (Entertainment Weekly). When a ship arriving from London explodes in Boston Harbor, both the peace of the colonial city and exiled Scotsman Duncan McCallum's life are shattered. Summoned by John Hancock to a beach awash with the bodies of the victims, Duncan discovers that the ship was sabotaged. Hancock refuses to let him take evidence to the authorities, for this is 1768 and relations with the government are sour. Fearing that the intrigues of Hancock and the Sons of Liberty might set the colonies ablaze, Duncan relentlessly pursues the truth, only to be falsely charged with treason and murder. With the help of Ethan Allen, aged natives, and outlawed Jesuits, he survives scalp hunters, imprisonment, and his own spiritual crisis, only to realize he cannot resolve the terrible crimes until he first understands the emerging truths about freedom in the American colonies. ';Pattison has few peers when it comes to integrating historical events into a complex but plausible whodunit plot.'Publishers Weekly(starred review) ';Prepare to be immersed in this story of early America . . . This is historical writing at its best, with plenty of action and suspense. It's difficult to put down.'Historical Novel Society ';A passionate and intelligent tale of the American revolutionary period and a decent murder mystery to boot . . . a page-turning thriller.'Nudge Books ';For those who enjoy politics, history, and hairbreadth escapes swirled together.'Library Journal ';Exhibits the seamless blend of fiction and history that distinguishes this fine series.'Booklist
