A period drama centering the power struggle for Queen Anne’s
throne involving a poor young man and the two disparate figures
eager to take her place. An unsuspecting hero is roped into an
insidious plot that is much more than he bargained for. Harry Boyce
is an upstanding man who is poor but very bright. His father was a
local scoundrel who failed to provide any stability or positive
direction. Despite negative influences, Harry maintains a good
heart. When he sees a woman and her servant being attacked on the
road, he quickly comes to their aid. This sparks a whirlwind
romance that’s thwarted by the sudden return of Harry’s devious
father. His arrival coincides with two prominent men fighting for
Queen Anne’s throne. The Highwayman is a captivating but rare
novel from H.C. Bailey. Originally published in 1915, the story
balances its unsavory villains with a good-hearted hero. There’s
also a thrilling romance, melodrama and a touch of unexpected
humor. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Highwayman is both modern and
readable.
