Description:In the autumn of 1765, Thomas Dordrecht returns to New York City after two exciting but fitfully profitable years in Europe, and finds the town in an uproar. Delegates from nine of Britain’s colonies have gathered to challenge the Stamp Act, and thousands of people are protesting—rioting—against it in the streets. When the wife of a wealthy and prominent merchant is found brutally murdered, tensions are heightened by clues that suggest a political aspect to the crime. With business at a standstill, Dordrecht volunteers, at no small personal risk, to search for the truth. As he investigates the private turmoil of the victim and both sides of the public controversy, he realizes that the convoluted machinations of the murderer, like the highly sophisticated reasoning of the British Cabinet, may be made of “wisdom spun too fine.” “Exquisite Folly is terrific: a marvelous combination of suspense with a superb portrait of New York society.” —Thomas Fleming, author of Liberty!
