The Mountains Of Mourning by Lois McMaster Bujold
A sharp, resourceful young nobleman is sent to a remote mountain community to investigate a string of infant deaths and uncovers a grim tradition of abandoning or killing imperfect newborns; through patient questioning, moral courage, and appeals to law and compassion he confronts ingrained prejudice, brings individuals to account, and learns about the limits of justice, mercy, and his own responsibility toward the vulnerable.
