Debt of Dishonour

Even a highwayman has friends - sometimes in unexpected places. London society is outraged when charming, popular Boyce Polp is murdered on his way to an evening party, apparently by one of the highwaymen who make travel such a perilous business. But Miss Georgiana Grey, herself no stranger to peril, has her own reasons for doubting this version of the tragedy, which is soon the talk of the town. ""Clarke's strong third mystery set in 18th-century England. . . makes the notion of a latter-day female Robin Hood plausible.""-Publishers Weekly.
