- Blind, Judges, Fiction, History
A gang of criminals is terrorizing London with robbery and murder. In a time when slavery is still practiced in the colonies, there is but one clue to the identity of this group: they are all black men. Blind judge Sir John Fielding is on the case. When the pieces come together, Fielding and his protege, Jeremy Proctor, learn that black and white are never as simple as they seem.
