Invited to the Virginia bicentennial celebration of Jefferson's presidency, Homer is excited to join the festivities. But more than fireworks are about to explode at Monticello. A scholar is working on a book exonerating the founding father from latter-day criticism and scandal. Camped in the dark woods behind Monticello is a young trespasser, Tom Dean, who swears that the only Jeffersonian good deed was his sponsorship of the Lewis and Clark expedition. And somewhere a vicious murderer of local women is on the prowl. When Tom is arrested as a prime suspect, Homer is drawn into the lives of the two troubled Toms: Jefferson, with the historian; and Dean, with the law. Langston weaves together scholarship, style, murder and mayhem to create a mystery masterpiece.

"A masterpiece of cunning and mayhem." (Publishers Weekly)
