Anibaddh Lyngdoh claims that she intends to introduce a new kind of
silk to the floundering American silk industry. But her true
reason, as her old friend Grace MacDonald Pollocke discovers, is
far more personal. Grace, now a Philadelphia portrait painter,
undertakes a perilous investigation that leads to the discovery of
old sins and crimes, and the commission of new ones. What laws may
be broken—what sins and crimes committed—in the service of a
higher justice? Deceit, forgery, fraud, perjury . . . even murder?
This novel thrillingly evokes a nineteenth-century America not so
different from the present: a time of stunning new technologies and
financial collapse, when religious and racial views collided with
avowed principles of morality and law.
