A caffeine-fuelled, rip-roaring, swashbuckling story of
kidnap, shipwreck, slavery, murder, mayhem and skullduggery
set in an eighteenth century Edinburgh coffee house.
It tells the story of Scotsman Peter Williamson, also known as Indian Peter.
Peter Williamson (1730 -1799) was kidnapped in Aberdeen,
sold as an indentured labourer to a farmer in Pennsylvania
and then was captured and enslaved by native Americans.
He escaped, joined the British Army, and was captured by the French
who sent him back to Britain where he published an account of his adventures
which implicated the Aberdeen magistrates in his kidnapping.
They threw him into jail and then ran him out of town
but he successfully sued them and with the compensation
he opened Indian Peter�s Coffee House in Edinburgh.
He also published an Edinburgh street directory, ran a private post office,
and invented a submarine for commuting across the Firth of Forth to Fife.
