In the King's Name; or, The Cruise of the Kestrel, by George Manville
Fenn.
________________________________________________________________________
This is quite a long book, and one of G.M. Fenn's very best, for his
hero gets into all sorts of tight corners, from which there appears no
possible escape, just in the manner of most of Fenn's books, for he is
the very master of suspense.
It starts off with a coastguard vessel, the "Kestrel", on patrol
looking for smugglers, Jacobites, or anything else that appears
suspicious.
Most of the action, however, takes place on the land, though sometimes
in smugglers' caves near the shore.
It makes a brilliant audiobook for your enjoyment.
