Even a highwayman has friends sometimes in unexpected places. In the 3rd Crimson Cavalier adventure, set in 18th century London, Miss Georgiana Grey becomes involved in the death of charming, popular Boyce Polp when he is murdered on his way to a party she is attending, apparently by one of the highwaymen who make travelling even a few miles such a perilous business. But Georgiana, 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 unpopular, Georgiana is determined that justice will prevail.
