Misadventure?"
A partner of the shipping rm that employs young Thomas Dordrecht was known to be in good health and traveling from Pennsylvania to New York City. Yet his corpse is discovered at dawn in a Manhattan alleyway-and the coroner is unable to specify a cause of death. As the sta grieves, Dordrecht takes it upon himself to parse clues to the man's inexplicable demise, but he is soon interrupted by a long-planned business venture to the Caribbean.

And once he realizes the victim was murdered in cold blood, he will not rest until he uncovers how, by whom, and why.

Jon did it again. He made me feel like I was there, whether it was Manhattan, aboard the Dorothy C., at Saint Eustatia, or along Newark Bay, back in the 1760's, as he did his company business, while piecing together the solution to the mystery of the death of Daniel Sproul. I look forward to the next work in the series.
