Description

Nanty Lammas leaves a St Andrews lecture for the Free Fishers of Forth. Hear Buchan’s Regency chase unabridged in English: Sir Turnour’s pistol, Kirsty Evandale, a Jacobin rumour, a duel, a plot running toward the Prime Minister, creeks in Norfolk and London where the law cannot see. A brotherhood of sea-folk more binding than the King. Salt, loyalty, a running fight. Napoleonic Britain, not a costume century: logic professor turned fisher, London as the last trap.
