Summary

In a nation torn to pieces by ruthless dictators and corrupt presidents, Robert Crawford has no idea that his life was mapped out long before he was born. 
With a plan devised in the previous century, one naval officer will stop at nothing to ensure that his protégé changes Argentina for ever. 
From a gentleman's club in London, Jack Forsyth and his secret cabal believe their meticulous plan is fool proof. 
But Robert's dangerous journey to the top could bring the plan crashing down, and along with it, governments thousands of miles apart. 
Two strong and determined women could decide Robert's fate. 
But who will betray him and will his true identity be discovered by the Argentine people? 
Only one person holds the key to the last British president.

    Stone Barrington only wants a winter getaway from the chill of New York in the beautiful, tropical Caribbean paradise of St. Mark's. But what the lawyer and ex-cop gets instead is the chance to defend Allison Manning. The beautiful young woman stands accused of killing her rich husband on board their luxurious yacht and then burying him at sea. 
Stone isn't exactly conversant with the island country's law, but this much is clear to him: Allison is being railroaded by the perverse sense of justice of a prosecutor who will do anything to stay in office. Donning the robe and wig of a British barrister, Stone does everything he can to save Allison—from publicizing the case all over the American press to conducting the kind of smart, tough investigation that money can't buy. Just when he has the jury in the palm of his hands, a shocking reversal of fortune changes everything. And what was once a sure thing begins to look a lot like a death sentence.

    Apprentice healer Lassair encounters a mysterious veiled noblewoman who brings unexpected peril

 When Lassair encounters a veiled noblewoman on the quay at Cambridge one morning, set on by an angry mob, she assumes involvement with her will be brief. She has no idea that the woman, alone but for her infant child, brings both mystery and peril. Then a devastating flood hits the fens, and among the wreckage and debris washed up at Aelf Fen is a body; Lassair, in the company of a sheriff's officer, wonders if she is dealing with murder . . .

Meanwhile, in the south, Lassair’s partner Rollo is moving with relief towards the conclusion of his mission for King William in the Holy Land. But then disaster strikes, and, with the mighty forces of an emperor on his heels, abruptly he turns from hunter to hunted. In order to escape alive, he risks help from a stranger, and embarks on a voyage that turns out to be far more dangerous than he could ever have imagined.
