Buckle your swashes and prepare for bamboozle. Outrageous impostor
Max Curtis hits the peak of his career when he bluffs his way into
a royal wedding to which even the prime minister is not invited.
But Queen Victoria and sharp-tongued princess Helene of Malrivaux
are unimpressed, and Max is packed off to London in disgrace. A
brutal murder follows and a horrific kidnapping, and Max finds
himself propelled by steam, wind and horse across England, Prussia,
Belgium and Luxembourg to rescue Helene, prevent all out war, and,
just possibly, find a way back to the Queen's good graces. The
problem is, Max is the last person in the world Helene would ever
trust, and his enemies know it. Swordplay, fakery, and one
unforgettable kiss; Max's captivating, self-absorbed narration
relates an adventure which is The Prisoner of Zenda meets Three Men
in a Boat, or every Errol Flynn movie you ever loved restyled by
Oscar Wilde and Hector Hugh Munro."
