When the British led by I forget-who, with Indians, attacked it and marched down the street - Detroit surrendered...the only city to ever have done that....

I was thinking of putting in the "post something memorable" thread but was too lazy....

Maybe before I take the book back, I'll do it....

This book was about the gangster with the voice box who had Amos look for his charge (after her parents died) and Amos found her...doing all the things you'd expect and more...(she was a bad guy)...
