Der Mikro-Organismus Der Gonorrhoischen Schleimhaut-Erkrankungen Gonococcus-Neisser (1885)

The new ‘Benjamin January’ novel from the bestselling author When the Faubourg Treme Free Colored Militia and Burial Society sets out to bury one of its members in the summer of 1836, no one expects the accident that reveals the wrong body in the coffin - and when a completely unknown white man falls out of the casket, only one person in New Orleans recognizes him: Hannibal Sefton, fiddle-player and close friend to free black musician and surgeon Benjamin January. From this macabre start, January is drawn into a web of blackmail, murder, lies and family secrets that link the noble houses of Britain with the whorehouses of New Orleans. From helping his friend, he finds himself a target as he searches for the answers to old crimes, old riddles, and matters which the wealthy and powerful French Creoles consider none of a black man’s business: things that are better left dead and buried.
