Product Description

In a novel rich with historical detail, acclaimed author Eliot Pattison not only reconsiders the founding of America, but also explores how disenfranchised people of any age and place struggle to find justice, how conflicting cultures can be reconciled through compassion and tolerance and ultimately how the natural world has its own morality. A prisoner aboard a british convict ship travelling to the New World witnesses a number of murders. He follows the clues into the bloody maw of the French and Indian War and eventually into wilderness populated by European settlers.

Review
"Set against a background that is alternately bleak and blazingly beautiful, this is at once a top-notch thriller and a substantive look at Tibet under siege."
