OLDER FICTION

Hell and High Water

(2) YA In 1750s England, Caleb's father is framed for theft, so dark-skinned Caleb goes to live with his aunt. Then Caleb finds his father's corpse washed up on the shore. Pa's fate is one piece in a vast web of treachery; the action intensifies as Caleb peels back layers of corruption. A satisfying yarn based on an actual 1752 shipwreck and the "extraordinary scandal that followed."
