In this new novel Mr. Scott returns to modern times, where he is as much
at home as when writing of imaginary kingdoms or the days of powder and
patches. Mr. Scott's last novel, "The Impostor," had Annapolis in 1776
as its _locale_, but he shows his versatility by centering the important
events of this romance in and around Annapolis of today.
There are mystery and action a-plenty, and a charming love interest adds
greatly to an already brilliant and exciting narrative.

"A charming and captivating romance filled with action from the
opening to the close, so fascinating is the story
