The Slavery Business

Breaking the Chains
It's 1743 and slave trader Henry Lascelles, one of the richest men of the 18th century, is about to be investigated for tax fraud by government inspector Robert Dinwiddie. A life and death struggle ensues between these equally ambitious and obsessively single minded men that takes us from the sugar plantations of Barbados to the heart of government in London.
