It is 1715, many decades before a police force in Britain, and less than a year after George of Hanover’s controversial accession to the English throne. A conspiracy to restore the Crown to the Pretender, James Stuart, is about to erupt in rebellion. The Whigs are in power again and eager to take revenge on the Tories in the days when arguments were solved with swords. Falsely accused of murdering his own father, Gideon Fitzsimmons, Viscount St. Mars, must hide from the men who want to hang him, while trying to unmask his father’s killer. An outlaw, he must detect under cover of night to avoid being caught.
Fortunately, he has one true-hearted friend, Hester Kean, waiting woman to the lady he hoped to make his wife. Mrs. Kean becomes his eyes and ears in the society he has lost. Together, they solve the mystery and forge a bond that carry them through the challenges and adventures of their dangerous times. Historical Mystery by Patricia Wynn; originally published by Pemberley Press
