Henry David Thoreau Mysteries
Thoreau had all the makings of a great crime solver - the analytical skills of a surveyor, the observational skills of a scientist, a photographic memory, and a passion for collecting arcane information. His instinct for detecting human foibles was razor-sharp and he had a heart-felt sense of justice. And like most legendary detectives, he marched to his own drummer.

In the first book in the series, Henry David Thoreau leaves the seclusion of Walden Pond to help investigate a series of murders in the first in B. B. Oak's fascinating new historical mystery series, set against the bucolic backdrop of 19th century New England.
