Summary: "The Price of Blood: An Extravaganza of New York Life in 1807" by Howard Pyle is a historical fiction novel written during the late 19th century. The book is set in New York City at the dawn of the 19th century, portraying the cosmopolitan society of the time. It chronicles the life of a young lawyer navigating a series of unusual and dangerous events tied to his clients, offering a blend of adventure and moral reflection. In this narrative, the protagonist, Nathaniel Griscombe, embarks on a tumultuous journey after being approached by a mysterious client who reveals that his life is in imminent danger due to a political conspiracy involving treasures hidden in a strongbox.
