A propos de cet article

First edition, first impression. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£2.10), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy for its age. 205pp. A novel of suspense and adventure, set during the early nineteenth century. Another case for the Bow Street Runner extraordinary. Napoleon Bonaparte, once the scourge of Europe, is now a tame captive on the island rock of St Helena. Or is he? When rumours grow of a plan to escape, Blackstone is sent by George IV to investigate security on the island. He finds a buzz of suspicion and intrigue among its ill assorted population of effete garrison officers, native servants and ex smugglers. Is the ex Emperor being poisoned? Blackstone aims to find out. And then one night a 'monster' is sighted out at sea. The fourth of Richard Falkirk's (Derek Lambert 1929-2001), Blackstone adventures.
