Bøger i A Thaddeus Lewis Mystery serien

Saddlebag preacher and sleuth Thaddeus Lewis doesn't have the purest motives for defending a married woman accused of murder. Enlisting his granddaughter and a wet-behind-the-ears lawyer, he discovers a fraud that threatens the future of the whole county.

It's 1847, "Black '47," and 100,000 Irish emigrants are fleeing to North America to escape starvation. When a bloated body washes up on Lake Ontario shore near his home, Thaddeus Lewis is sent on a journey that takes him into the heart of disaster.

Thaddeus reunites with an old friend in less-than-cheerful circumstances to catch a grave robber who is preying on a vagrants' cemetery and stealing more than bodies. The two soon find themselves entangled in a mystery that stretches back to the typhus epidemic of 1847, and the legacy of a scandal many would prefer left buried.
