In the Highlands of Scotland in 1904, seventeen-year-old Bella Gordon and her family are leaving for America. At their joyous farewell party, Bella meets the charismatic yet shy Sir David Rennie, and it's love at first sight. Despite the emotion-charged encounter, Bella and her family embark as planned on their voyage across the Atlantic the following morning, seemingly separating the young couple. But meanwhile, Sir David learns that his father has fallen victim to a shady business deal involving a silver mine in America. Tasked by his father to investigate the mine, salvage the investment and save the estate, Sir David hastily embarks for America-unknowingly boarding the same ship as Bella. People in power, vulnerable young women: aboard the ship, Bella is plagued by the deplorable advances of Wilhelm Lederbeiter, the chief steward. When Sir David catches Lederbeiter in the act of assaulting Bella, Sir David and Bella vigorously and effectively thwart the blackguard's intentions. Despite their triumph, Bella and Sir David soon find that Lederbeiter's connections run deep. Upon arrival in America, Bella is kidnapped to and imprisoned in a brothel run by the Lederbeiter family. With life and love on the line, Sir David must rescue Bella-and bring down the Lederbeiters and their unseemly operation at all costs.

Winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction An electrifying story of the sensational murder trial that divided a city and ignited the civil rights struggle In 1925, Detroit was a smoky swirl of jazz and speakeasies, assembly lines and fistfights. The advent of automobiles had brought workers from around the globe to compete for manufacturing jobs, and tensions often flared with the KKK in ascendance and violence rising. Ossian Sweet, a proud Negro doctor-grandson of a slave-had made the long climb from the ghetto to a home of his own in a previously all-white neighborhood. Yet just after his arrival, a mob gathered outside his house; suddenly, shots rang out: Sweet, or one of his defenders, had accidentally killed one of the whites threatening their lives and homes. And so it began-a chain of events that brought America's greatest attorney, Clarence Darrow, into the fray and transformed Sweet into a controversial symbol of equality. Historian Kevin Boyle weaves the police investigation and courtroom drama of Sweet's murder trial into an unforgettable tapestry of narrative history that documents the volatile America of the 1920s and movingly re-creates the Sweet family's journey from slavery through the Great Migration to the middle class. Ossian Sweet's story, so richly and poignantly captured here, is an epic tale of one man trapped by the battles of his era's changing times.
