Crooked in His Ways: A Lightner and Law Mystery
New York: Crooked Lane, 2021. First edition. Hardcover. First edition. Fine, fresh, like-new copy in equally fine, bright dust jacket. The second book in this historical mystery series set in pre-Civil War New York featuring inspector Jasper Lighnter and detective Hieronymus Law. Hardcover. 326 pp. Albert Beauchamp disappeared just before Christmas in 1856. When he reappears more than a year later, he's in several pieces, packed in salt in a shipping crate in New Orleans. NYC inspectors Jasper Lightner and his partner, Hieronymus Law, are called in to investigate--but the further they dig into the wealthy financier's background, the dirtier the story gets. And all the while, a shadowy figure who knows of these secrets reemerges with a devious plan that goes far beyond simple blackmail. Fine / fine. Item #E35071
