The Frown of Fortune - A Luke Tremayne Adventure... a French Affair 1653 (Paperback)

In 1653, Cromwell sent Luke Tremayne and his deputy Harry Lloyd to Paris to negotiate secretly with exiled King Charles II. After a serious mishap for Luke, Harry is forced to complete the mission alone. Luke is gainfully employed by a French aristocrat to investigate the murder of his first wife and the attempted murder of his second. Harry assists the English courtiers in solving the murder of two young ladies-in-waiting to Queen Mother Henriette Marie, and together with a Royalist peer, is falsely imprisoned and tortured. He escapes and after many life-threatening adventures is rescued on the orders of France's chief minister. Luke's investigations are complicated by a feisty abbess, hysterical nuns, a Canadian adventurer, a rampaging bear, and a mysterious treasure of English Catholic gold and silver--investigations that provoke a series of fatal bombings. Harry's determination to find and exact revenge on a renegade French aristocrat responsible for his torture leads him eventually to the French chateau where Luke is pursuing his villains.
