A novel written in the early 20th century. It blends romantic adventure with espionage, following narrator George Decies as he’s drawn into Major Edmond O’Shea’s covert mission to stop Communist agents from smuggling documents that could imperil a royal figure. Set chiefly in sun-drenched Madeira, it centers on wilful debutante Nanette, her earnest suitor Jack Kelton, the enigmatic O’Shea, and the predatory Gabriel da Cunha.
