Publisher's Synopsis
During an investigation, gentleman thief turned private inquiry agent Ambrose Wells finds himself at Aldwick Castle - in the midst of chaos. The building is in flames. Men are dead. And a woman and four young girls are fleeing on horseback. Although a natural loner, Ambrose takes Miss Concordia Glade and her young charges under his wing. With their lives at risk, he insists they must remain in hiding until he is able to unravel the truth behind their recent imprisonment at the castle. Miss Glade, never one to sit back and let others take care of her, decides to help Ambrose in his work, and the pair learn something about the power of courage and love.
