About Ran Away by Barbara Hambly
In New Orleans, newspaper notices regularly announce that enslaved people have run away. But when two of Hüseyin Pasha’s concubines disappear, the Turk posts no notice. After a witness says he saw Pasha throw their bodies from an attic window on Bourbon Street, many are quick to accept him as the murderer.
Benjamin January, who remembers meeting Pasha in Paris ten years earlier, takes up the search for the real culprit despite public outrage and the threat of mob violence. The investigation revives painful memories and puts January’s family, freedom, and life at risk. This mystery will suit readers interested in historical crime, New Orleans, and an investigation shaped by prejudice and danger.
