Condition: Good. A lush and haunting novel of a city steeped in decadent pleasures . . . and of a man, proud and defiant, caught in a web of murder and betrayal. It is 1833.

With the authorities reluctant to become involved, Ben begins his own inquiry, which will take him through the seamy haunts of riverboatmen and into the huts of voodoo-worshipping slaves. But soon the eyes of suspicion turn toward Ben--for, black as the slave who fathered him, this free man of color is still the perfect scapegoat. . . . Praise for A Free Man of Color A smashing debut. Rich and exciting with both substance and spice.--Star Tribune, Minneapolis A sparkling gem.--King Features Syndicate An astonishing tour de force.--Margaret Maron Superb.--Drood Review of Mystery A darned good murder mystery.--USA Today.…
