Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Red Rat's Daughter
I am not quite certain which. His head, how ever, must have been screwed on the right way, for he made few mistakes, and everything he touched turned to gold. At thirty his bank balance stood at fifteen thousand pounds; at forty it had turned the corner of a hundred thousand; and when he departed this transi tory life, a young man in everything but years, he left his widow, young John's mother - his second wife, I may remark in passing, and the third daughter of the late Lord Rushbrooke - upwards of three and a half million pounds sterling in trust for the boy.
