Sinopsis

When newlyweds Sir James and Lady Cecilia Branstoke come to console a widow on the death of her husband, they discover some things don't add up about the death of the young Lord. Worse, a man who won't state his purpose, but is obviously military, wants a carte blanche to search the dead man's library! The sheer effrontery! 
 
 
 
What begins as sympathy and concern for a troubled neighbor escalates into a mystery with reverberations at the highest level of government. 
 
 
 
Napoleon has escaped from Elba and someone has stolen a subsidy shipment meant for England's allies in their renewed war against Napoleon. The shipment, a valuable mix of gold and guns, soon pits thief against thief and ally against ally with the Branstokes in the middle! 
 
 
 
Instead of being on a blissful honeymoon, Sir James and Lady Cecilia Branstoke find themselves dodging knives, fires, and pistols as they search for the missing baronet and the stolen subsidies. 
 
 
 
Maybe they should have traveled to the highlands for their honeymoon, as they'd told their friends had been their intention.
