MACLEAN 'A FINE ADVENTURE REMINISCENT OF PATRICK O'BRIAN' - SUNDAY
TIMES This is the secret report of Laurence Jago. Unwilling spy.
Reluctant sailor. Accidental detective. New Year 1795, and Laurence
Jago is aboard the Tankerville mail ship, en route to Philadelphia.
Laurence is travelling undercover, supposedly as a journalist's
assistant. But his real mission is to protect a civil servant, en
route to Congress with a vital treaty that will stop the Americans
from joining the French in their war against Britain. When the
civil servant meets an unfortunate - and apparently accidental -
end, the treaty disappears, and Laurence realises that only he can
keep the Americans out of the war. Trapped on the ship with a
strange assortment of travellers including two penniless French
aristocrats, an Irish actress and a dancing bear, Laurence must
hunt down both the lost treaty and the murderer, before he has a
tragic 'accident' himself... The new page-turning historical
mystery from the author of BLACK DROP, a 2021 TIMES Book of the
Year. Perfect for readers of Andrew Taylor, Laura Shepherd-Robinson
and S.J. Parris.
