Georgette Heyer, spécialiste de la période de la régence anglaise (1811-1820), est l'une des romancières les plus adulées de son temps. À l'âge de quinze ans, elle se met à écrire pour distraire son frère convalescent, et donne ses lettres de noblesse à la romance historique, s'inspirant largement des oeuvres de Jane Austen. Son incomparable talent pour les intrigues amoureuses a fait de Georgette Heyer une plume incontournable du genre.

Captain John Staple's exploits against Napoleon's armies in the Spanish Peninsula have earned him the nickname 'Crazy Jack' amongst his comrades in the Dragoon Guards.
But once the Battle of Waterloo brings the Napoleonic Wars to a decisive end, the adventure-loving Captain finds life in peacetime intolerably dull.
When he finds himself lost in the Pennines, he takes refuge at an unmanned toll-house.
It's there that he encounters a lady of extraordinary qualities - and suddenly, his soldiering days pale in comparison to a new adventure in which he must rescue a woman and investigate a scandalous murder . . .
