Catherine Williams, midwife and widowed shipowner, takes in two Quaker siblings, Jane and Roger Whitcomb. When a sailor is found dead, and then there's contention at the Puritan services, the Quakers are suspect. Catherine's Native American assistant, Massaquoit, saves Roger's life once, but someone is determined. And Catherine is determined to find out who the killer is. Third in the Colonial American mystery trilogy featuring Catherine Williams by Stephen Lewis
