"The Napoleonic Wars are raging, Britain is on her heels, and His Majesty's Secret Service has just lost its best agent, Thomas Grey. Left despondent by his wife's untimely death, Grey resigns from the service and accepts a job offer in Boston. But when a battle with a privateer forces the ship carrying him west to make port in neutral Portugal, Grey is approached with a counteroffer: become a wealthy man by selling out Britain's spy network to France. The French take Grey for a disgruntled ex-naval officer, unaware that Grey had lost his wife to a shot from a French cannon. Now, after many years serving King and Country, Grey seizes the opportunity to infiltrate Napoleon's government and fight a covert war of his own."--Page 4 of cover.
