Even a highwayman has friends - sometimes in unexpected places

London society is outraged when charming, popular Boyce Polp is murdered on his way to an evening party, apparently by one of the highwaymen who make travelling even a few miles such a perilous business. But Miss Georgiana Grey, herself no stranger to peril, has her own reasons for doubting the version of the tragedy which is soon the talk of the town.

She uncovers a darker side to Polp, and though her probing makes her as unpopular as the Bow Street Runner who is investigating the case, Georgiana is determined that justice will prevail.
