Neither Sir Tristram Shield nor his beautiful young cousin, Eustacie, share the slightest inclination to marry one another.
Yet it is Eustacie''s grandfather''s dying wish, made on his deathbed.
For there is no one else to look after and provide for Eustacie while his heir, Ludovic, remains a fugitive from justice after allegedly murdering a man in a dispute over a priceless family heirloom.
And so the hunt is on - to find Ludovic and bring him home as well as the Talisman Ring ...
Romance, a murder mystery, a proposed marriage of convenience, and the hunt for a golden ring lie at the heart of one of Georgette Heyer''s funniest and fastest-pac
Trade Review
One of Heyer's most entertaining reads * Good Book Guide *
Georgette Heyer is unbeatable -- India Knight
Sparkling * Independent *
My favourite historical novelist - stylish, romantic, sharp, and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising, and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours -- Margaret Drabble
With a Georgette Heyer you don't buy a book, you buy a world. If it suits you, you settle down forever * Time Magazine *
