Publishers Description: John Richards was apprenticed to the well-known clockmaker of Totnes William Stumbells and on the first day of his new freedom as a journeyman he takes a fall down a steep hill and discover the hiding place of a considerable sum of gold guineas and a pistol. It is clear that this is part of something very dangerous, men have been killed for shillings let alone this sort of money. He consults his mentor Stumbells and discovers that in his younger days the old man was involved in intelligence work for the Navy. Funds such as John found are almost certainly associated with French espionage and sabotage. John is introduced to Captain South whose network is based on Plymouth docks and his adventures begin.
