The abduction of a female in 1858 leads to Toronto thirty-eight years later - in murder. In 1858, a woman on her honeymoon vacation is forcibly abducted and taken across the boundary from Canada and sold into slavery. Thirty-eight years later, Detective Murdoch is working on a murder case that will take all of his resourcefulness to solve. Who owns one of Toronto's livery stables has been found useless. He has been horsewhipped and remaining suspending from his wrists in his tack room, and his partner claims a considerable amount of cash has been taken. A second man is also murdered, his body strangely tied as though he were a rebellious slave. Murdoch has to determine whether Toronto's small "coloured" community has a vicious murderer in its midst - a study that sets his own life in peril. Maureen Jennings's trademark in her popular and acclaimed Detective Murdoch series is to uncover a long-forgotten facet about life in the city that dispels any idea that it certainly ever was "Toronto the nice." Aswell, in A Journeyman to Grief, an exceedingly well plotted and engrossing storyline, she shows just how a great harm committed before can erupt fatally in the present.
