"The future of a reckless, adventure-loving captain of the Dragoons appeared both humdrum and tedious in those days when Waterloo was still a recent, glorious victory and also an end to the joys of soldiering. So handsome John Staple left the army to escape boredom and was immediately plunged into more exciting hazards than he had believed could possibly exist.
Not only did he find himself quickly involved in perilous activies, but he was also surrounded by a host of varied and colorful personalities -- some more honest than others -- including a highwayman, a Bow Street runner, a hero-worshiping small boy, a bedridden squire, and beautiful, high-spirited Nell Stornaway, who is caught in a web of strange evil." .
