Description

In eighteenth-century London, country gentleman, pugilist, and peer, Fabius Verstappen, first Baron Oakham, has his work cut out for him trying to restrain the increasingly outrageous Prince of Wales. Now a political aide to Mr Pitt, Fabius manoeuvres to secure votes in the House, a political game for experienced players. Surmounting assassination attempts, he arranges convenient marriages into City money, while trying to protect his own family in this dangerous and riotous city.
