520    "The Herbert Fuller, a three-masted sailing ship loaded 
       with New England lumber, left Boston bound for Buenos 
       Aires on July 8, 1896 with twelve people on board: captain
       -owner Charles Nash, his wife and Maine childhood-
       sweetheart Laura, two mates, the "mulatto" steward, six 
       crewmen, and one passenger. Just before 2 A.M. on the 
       sixth day at sea, the captain, his wife, and the second 
       mate were slaughtered in their individual bunkrooms with 
       the ship's axe, seven or eight blows apiece. Laura Nash 
       was found with her thin nightgown pushed above her hips, 
       her head and upper body smashed and deformed. Incredibly, 
       no one saw or heard the killings... except the killer. 
       After a harrowing voyage back to port for the survivors, 
       the killer among them, it didn't take long for prosecutors
       to charge, and a Boston jury to convict, the first mate, a
       naturalized American of mixed blood from St. Kitts. But 
       another man on board, the passenger, a twenty-year-old 
       Harvard quitter from a proper Boston family, had his own 
       dark secrets. Who was the real killer, and what became of 
       these two men? Not a Gentleman's Work is the story of the 
       fates of two vastly different men whose lives intersected 
       briefly on one horrific voyage at sea--a story that 
       reverberates with universal themes: inescapable terror, 
       coerced confession, capital punishment, justice obscured 
       by privilege, perseverance, redemption, and death by 
       tortured soul"--|cProvided by publisher.
