About this listen
Pennington expertly weaves fiction and history together to portray events during this terrible time in U.S. history. This is so much more than a mystery." — Historical Novel Society
“…a fast-paced thriller that breathes life into each historic character…and captures the look and feel of nineteenth-century Indiana County.” — Jonathan Bogert, Director, Historical and Genealogical Society of Indiana County
During a blizzard in the cold winter of 1826, the quiet Western Pennsylvania town of Indiana is shocked by the gruesome murders of two runaway slaves. When the county sheriff shows no interest in the dead men, newspaperman James Moorhead and his friend, Dr. Robert Mitchell, vow to investigate.
In the summer of 1793, a yellow fever epidemic decimates Philadelphia, the nation's capital. Thousands die while those who can flee to the country. A nine-year-old orphan struggling to survive on his own in the deserted city descends into a world of deprivation and inhumanity when he is locked away in Philadelphia's infamous poorhouse.
The bloodshed triggered by these seemingly unrelated events threatens the lives of James Moorhead and Dr. Mitchell as they fight to expose the twisted link between the murders and an insane act of revenge reaching back thirty years.
The formation of the Underground Railroad, the horrors of the Philadelphia Yellow Fever Epidemic, and the life of the author's great-great-great-great-grandfather, one of Pennsylvania's most famous abolitionists, are woven into a thrilling story of ambition and revenge.
