Book Description
Switched at birth by a female slave who fears for her infant son's life, a light-skinned child changes places with the master's white son. This simple premise underlies Twain's engrossing 19th-century tale of reversed identities, an eccentric detective, a horrible crime, and a tense courtroom scene.

10/4/2007 Cindy Lovell said: Great CSI connections... Wilson was the first American lawyer to use fingerprints in a court of law. And yes, he is a fictional character! That was Mark Twain... ahead of his time.
