Based on a true incident, this fictional account tells how in 1884 a fourteen-year-old Native American boy is lynched in Canada by the leaders of a white mob attempting to cover up the murder of a local citizen. Although that murder remains unsolved, Stewart builds a credible case against the probable perpetrators. An afterword separates fact from fiction.
