Death of a Dutch Uncle is a funny, historically accurate picture of the Albany Dutch and their Mohawk allies in 1691. When the Patroon’s nephew drops dead on Boston Common on training day, my two nosy Puritan detectives, Hetty Henry and “Creasy” Cotton meet some eccentric Dutch characters in their search to uncover just who poisoned the poltroon of a nephew.
Hetty and Creasy face Indian raids, kidnapping and piracy on the High Hudson before they uncork the killer with a doctored dram of their own.
