The first novel of the Georgian (the period of the Hanoverian dynasty in Great Britain, 1714?1837) cycle by the famous British writer Georgette Heyer (1902;1974). Lord John Carstairs, unjustly accused of fraud, is forced to leave England. Deprived of the means of survival, he finds solace and a way out of his problem in gambling and robbery, which often reminds of the story of the legendary Robin Hood. He continues to practice this trade after illegally returning to his homeland. But his life takes a sharp turn when he stands in the way of the infamous "Devil" - the Duke of Andover, rescuing the charming Miss Diana Bowley from his hands.
