Welcome to 19TH CENTURY BOSTON where even power and privilege won't save you from the hangman's noose.
First in the new historical series featuring Boston governess Nell Sweeney
Boston 1868: The wealthy are enjoying the height of the Gilded Age-but not all are wealthy. As governess to the Hewitt family, Irish immigrant Nell Sweeny is sent to discover the truth behind the rumor that their son-thought to be killed in the Civil War-was still alive and in prison. Finding the young man convicted of a murder he did not commit, Nell won't rest until she has proven his innocence. But with no evidence, Nell must make haste-before the hangman's noose tightens around William Hewitt's throat.
