The Strange Death of Mistress Coffin

Based on an actual unsolved murder that took place near what is now Exeter, New Hampshire during the 17th century, this novel by Robert J. Biegiebing is at once a spellbinding work of crime and detection and a fascinating evocation of life in early America. The author draws on extensive research of the time to produce recognizable, human characters as they confront the extreme conditions of the first frontier.
