A Revolutionary War veteran is out to solve the murder of a childhood friend in this acclaimed historical mystery set in eighteenth-century New England.

Maine, 1796. It’s been a long time since Will Rees felt at home—not since before his wife died years ago and he took to the road as a traveling weaver. Now Rees is back on his Maine farm, living with his teenaged son, David, and his housekeeper, Lydia, whose presence contributes more towards his happiness than he’s ready to admit. But his domestic bliss is shattered the morning a visitor brings news of an old friend’s murder.

Nate Bowditch and Rees hadn’t spoken in many long years, but as children they were closer than brothers. Rees feels his loss acutely and cannot let the mystery of his death go unsolved. But Rees quickly discovers that everyone at the Bowditch farmsted—from Nate’s frosty wife to his missing son to the shy serving girl—is hiding something. Could any of them actually capable of murder? Or does the answer lie elsewhere, behind stones no one even knew needed unturning?
