Will Rees faces a moral dilemma when a slaveholder is murdered
while attempting to recapture a former slave: should he pursue
lawful justice or should he let the killer go free? November 1800,
Maine. After helping their long-time friend Tobias escort his wife,
along with a liberated slave and her child, from the Great Dismal
back to Durham, Will and Lydia Rees's lives are interrupted when a
dead body is found near their home. The body is that of Mr Gilbert,
a slaveholder from the Great Dismal. Was he murdered in pursuit of
the former slaves? When it's discovered Gilbert was infected with
smallpox, and Gilbert's sister arrives demanding justice and the
return of her absconded slaves, Will is torn. Finding the killer
could lead to the recapture of the former slaves. Letting them go
free could result in a false arrest and endanger the Durham
community. Will must make a choice . . .
