A thrilling Victorian adventure story of smuggling, cursed
treasure, code-cracking, injustice, revenge, and friendship
Beginning as a mystery and an adventure story, this tale of
smuggling is set among the cliffs, caves, and downs of Dorset. What
will be the outcome of the conflict between smugglers and revenue
men? How can the hero, John Trenchard, discover the secret of
Colonel John Mohune's treasure? As the book progresses these two
interwoven themes resolve themselves into a third and richer one,
with the friendship and suffering of both John Trenchard and the
craggy, taciturn Elzevir Block. Falkner's feeling for history and
for the landscape of his Dorset setting combine with his gift for
storytelling to turn this ripping yarn into a historical romance of
moving intensity.
