In this new novel Mr. Scott returns to modern times, where he is as muchat home as when writing of imaginary kingdoms or the days of powder andpatches. Mr. Scott's last novel, "The Impostor," had Annapolis in 1776as its _locale_, but he shows his versatility by centering the importantevents of this romance in and around Annapolis of today.
There are mystery and action a-plenty, and a charming love interest addsgreatly to an already brilliant and exciting narrative.
