"By the 1690s, John Alden's grandson and namesake has built a quiet life teaching the cooper's trade his family has practiced for three generations. But an old grudge over a lost wharf lease finds new and terrible use in 1692, when a rival merchant sees an opportunity in Salem's growing panic. When young John publicly challenges the court's reliance on spectral evidence, he becomes exactly the kind of target the moment is built to consume. Jailed, condemned, and facing the hangman's rope, he must choose between the law and his own survival - while, in the background, the last living signer of the Mayflower Compact quietly closes a chapter of American history few will live to see the end of. The concluding volume of the nine-book "A Stranger at Sea" saga."
