rom the master author who set the standard for thrilling courtroom drama with the bestselling classic Anatomy of a Murder, another stylish courtroom novel. Laughing Whitefish is a tragic love story based on a 19th-century Indian land case that ended up in the Michigan Supreme Court.
Very similar to Anatomy of a Murder but with a different case to work, and in a different time. Lots of UP and Marquette history.
From the book cover:
LAUGHING WHITEFISH is a courtroom drama as intriguing, alluring, suspenseful, and compelling as any the master Robert Traver has ever written. Based on an actual case fought in the Michigan courts a century ago, it is a vibrant Victorian courtroom drama, a tender romance, and an intriguing look at the law in an earlier American.
