8/17/1993 North Star Conspiracy brought to light

August 17, 1993.  This date saw the publication of North Star Conspiracy,  the second novel in Miriam Grace Monfredo's historical mystery series about librarian Glynis Tryon, who lives in Seneca Falls, New York, before the Civil War.  This one involves the underground Railroad.

Kirkus Reviews said: "Stimulating fare (despite a subplot or two too many) that effectively parallels the powerlessness of slaves and women--the disenfranchised--building to a dramatic courtroom sequence."
