Great Mischief: Thomas Dordrecht in 1759

Who killed the horrible man in the stocks? He attacked a pretty young slave girl-a crime that offends the townsmen as much for its interracial character as its violence-and now his throat has been cut. How could it be the ancient slave long esteemed for his docility, now boasting of the murder even as he implores God for forgiveness? The possibility that a black man killed a white one is fraught with dire consequences for the entire town ... unless the young Thomas Dordrecht can ferret out the whole truth.
