In England in the time of the French Revolution, well-born adventurer Sovay takes to highway robbery--first to avenge a romantic slight, then to stop a plot to frame her father for treason. The narrative, long on action, is regrettably shorter on character development. Nevertheless, this tale of political intrigue and familial loyalty will keep readers turning pages.
