In the quiet streets of 1807 New York, young lawyer Nathan Griscombe is waiting for his career to begin. That beginning arrives in the form of an enigmatic client with a bizarre request and an astonishing sum of money. But as Nathan soon discovers, such a fee is rarely paid without a hidden cost. He is quickly swept into a high-stakes extravaganza involving a missing heiress, a mysterious cabinet, and a debt that can only be settled by the price of blood.
Navigating the surprising dangers hidden within sedate American towns, Nathan must rely on his wits and his unwavering sense of justice to protect those placed in his care. Howard Pyle moves away from the knights of old to deliver a masterful historical suspense that proves adventure can be found just as easily in a lawyer's chambers as on a pirate's deck. It is a compelling exploration of integrity and the unexpected paths that lead to true success.
Featuring Pyle's own evocative illustrations, this edition brings a forgotten corner of American history to vivid life. This story offers a sophisticated blend of mystery and character, inviting readers to join a hero who discovers that the most valuable thing a man can possess is his reputation.
The Price of Blood is part of a complete collection of Howard Pyle's legendary works, now available in a matching set from Living Book Press.
