Publisher's Synopsis
London in the middle of the eighteenth century - a hub of trade and industry - meeting point for ships, traders and mariners of all nations and the main entry point to the lucrative import and export markets of Britain. Responding to an urgent summons from Marchant, Hyde and Turner travel post-haste to the capital - but what was Marchant's summons for? Could smugglers be using the great port as a place to further their nefarious ends and if they were, would Marchant's men be able to expose it and put an end to it all? Or is there something more sinister afoot, that will leave Hyde and Turner searching for an unknown, unseen adversary in a challenge that threatens to drive a wedge between them, Marchant and the others in his company? And if there is, how will they survive it and the challenge it puts in front of them? The Leonardo Portfolio is the fourth book in the Simon Hyde series and sequel to The Pressed Men.
