Quince Melville has survived his introduction to the Revolutionary War, though a limb lighter. In this second book in the trilogy, he has become a hardened warrior capable of vicious soldiering under the harshest conditions; in his continued amorous soldiering, not quite so vicious. As the war nears its conclusion, to the delight of the colonists, a new enemy emerges, crueler than the redcoats and their allies. Things will not become appreciably better. Perhaps it will in the third novel of the trilogy!

In this episode our anti-anti-heroes are again messing with powers and circumstances that are out of their control. Neither of them and their minions are ever prepared for the intrigue and danger they encounter. But the oddity of their cases has begun to identify them. They can either run away and continue their careers with mundane assignments that neither pay the bills nor fulfill their thirsts for misadventure. Wait till you get a load of the ensuing episodes!The second adventure involving Denise Delgardo and her misanthropes defies the usual private-investigator tale. As all her assignments begin, she's following a spouse suspected of infidelity. And as all her assignments soon morph, she's up to her symbolic and literal neck in danger unimagined vis a vis time travel to a very scary time.

In this first of the trilogy, Quince Melville, a plucky lad, holds the post of reader in the mills that produce the cloth along the rivers of this New England. His scurrilous adventures with the ladies of the mill and others bring both pleasure and pain and further adventures. A loyalist to King George, he encounters people, places, and points of view that start to test his loyalty to old England. An adroit opportunist, his affaires d'amour stimulate his sensual proclivity as well as his politics. In this first of three volumes, we follow Quince's transformation from bon vivant adhering to the king's wishes to a young man guided by the likes of Franklin, Adams, and others to a brave and integral part of the impending revolution.
