On his first day he stumbles upon a murder of a member of the House of Burgesses and is enlisted by Sheriff William Norvell to assist in the investigation. Colonial Virginia is in an uproar over the British Parliament's new taxes and lack of representation. Is the murder related to the politics of the House of Burgesses? Is it revenge for selling and splitting the family of African-American slaves? Why was the victim at the Powder Magazine at midnight?As young Mr. Key assists the Sheriff in his investigation he is confronted with the role of slavery in Virginia and critical questions of ethics and leadership as he grows to understand more about Colonial Virginia and himself.
