When Captain Alvaro Tillford is chosen for a covert mission, delivering ?50,000 of gold to the colony of Georgia, he has no idea the «secret agent» he is supposed to be meeting is his best friend's brother-in-law – or that he has just been hanged for treason against the Crown. <br/> Now the British Authorities in Georgia are after Alvaro's family in earnest; the Naval Authorities in Jamaica are after Alvaro's skin for the mission failure; and Alvaro is after the men who set him up. <br/> With the aid of his new friend, the brilliant Lord Hawthorne, Alvaro sets out to expose a treasonous smuggling ring with links all the way to the highest authorities in London. <br/> Can Alvaro protect his family and clear his name, or is he doomed to live with besmirched honour, as a lowly colonial captain?
