<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Why would a runaway Virginia slave--having built a rewarding life in the East Indies as a silk merchant--risk everything by returning to America in 1840, 18 years after taking her freedom?<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>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?<br /><br /> 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.
