1787: Captain Edward Brazier is wounded and in desperate need of medical
attention, but his allies have no idea where he is--although neither do
his enemies. With his beloved Betsey facing confinement in an asylum at
the behest of her brother, time is running out for both. Can Brazier
save Betsey, or are his hopes to be dashed by matters about which he
could not have known? The revelations will blow apart the den of
criminality in which the smuggling town of Deal, and those who live in
it, have existed for too long.
