Captain Matthews is recruited by Colonel Selkirk for the dangerous work of a double agent. To remain useful he must convince Napoleon’s officials that he is still loyal to France, even while passing information to the British and returning repeatedly to conventional military service where discovery would make him a traitor to either side.

His missions carry him through the Naples campaign and into operations connected with Copenhagen before he again encounters Sir Arthur Wellesley. Covering the years 1804 to 1807, the novel combines cavalry warfare with espionage, showing how intelligence work depends on believable loyalties and how quickly a soldier’s assumed identity can become more dangerous than the battlefield itself.
