""A Fascinating Traitor"" is a historical fiction novel written by Richard Henry Savage. The story is set during the American Revolution and follows the life of a British soldier named John Andre. Andre is a charming and intelligent man who becomes a spy for the British army. He is tasked with infiltrating the American army and gathering intelligence. However, his plans are foiled when he is captured by the Americans and charged with treason. The novel follows Andre's trial and execution, as well as his relationships with the people around him, including his love interest, Peggy Shippen. The book explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions during a time of war. It is a gripping tale of intrigue and deception that sheds light on a lesser-known figure in American history.The rearrangement of the furniture seemed to be satisfactory, and Madame Berthe Louison composedly busied herself with the arrangement of a writing case, and a few womanly articles upon the table which she had chosen as her own peculiar fortification.

This maneuver passed the time needed for a stately carriage to sweep up from the opened grand gate of the bungalow to the raised veranda steps. ""There he is!"" she grimly said. Now, for the first blood.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
