This latest reissue of one of Aiken's pseudo-historical Wolves Chronicles features the scrappy and indomitable Dido Twite and her repellant father Abednego, who is still plotting to help overthrow King Richard and put Bonnie Prince George on the throne. The action careens along at breakneck speed, the dialogue crackles, and the author creates a cast of unforgettable characters.
