Murder by the Waters: A Benjamin Franklin Mystery: Further Adventures of the American Agent Abroad

Descripción

1st edition with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. Publisher's review slip laid in. "A scruffy highwayman, a damsel in distress and a handsome nobleman join in a 1758 scenario involving a coach full of travelers to Bath, England. But one of the passengers-American diplomat, scientist and, now, sleuth Benjamin Franklin-suspects the episode may have been staged. After the heroic rescue of winsome, impudent Emma Morland, Franklin applies his talents to unravel what could be a dangerous scam. The chronicler for this beguiling tale is Ben's natural son, Nick, an articulate, mature 13-year-old who fears that the relentlessly nosy Franklin might place himself in serious danger. Wonderfully rendered, the historic town of Bath teems with lords and ladies, rakes and doxies, churlish, wealthy tradesmen and sinister lurkers-and some suspicious deaths. Does someone have designs on Emma and her fortune? Is charming Edmund Darly, Fourth Earl of Hendon, who saved Emma from the highwayman, exactly what he seems to be? ." --PW.
