Lord John Grey attended an electric-eel party that led to a duel that that did not end well. He decided he needed to lie low after that. Then he received an urgent summons to serve as a character witness in a court martial of an old military friend, Charlie Carruthers who is in Canada. His adventures in the new world led him to have to defend his own life as well as his friend's character.Each story in which I read about Lord John fills in more of his character and this short book is no exception. I do wish I had read this novella before Scottish Prisoner, as some of the people and events from this novella are referred to in Scottish Prisoner and built upon there.
