Covenant: An Elihu Coffin Mystery
In a young town in the District of Maine, David Archer Whitman's violent death isn't mourned. "Builder of mills, tavern owner, merchant, great proprietor, man of means, son of rank and wealth, maker of bastards, wifebeater, degenerate, a disgrace to his town and its most prominent resident," Whitman is viewed with contempt by the men of Finland, Maine. But they soon discover that the danger is greater than they realized, and the killer hasn't stopped. The task of solving the mystery falls on the town's militia captain, Elihu Coffin, a man who is widely respected and frequently avoided.
At once a murder mystery and a novel about a changing social and economic order, "Covenant" is historical fiction written from the archives. It examines the decline of community and shared purpose in moments of change. Elihu Coffin believes he has values in common with his neighbors. His search for a killer turns up hard lessons about his town and his time.
