Title: Weak, odd early Sabatini
Review: This book is much weaker, though less predictable, than Sabatini's preceding novel, _The Shame of Motley_. The plotting is tedious enough (much of it pointless) that I couldn't get through it. On the other hand, it's not in his usual mode with his usual stock characters and incidents.
