The Elusive Pimpernel

"We seek him here we seek him there

Those Frenchies seek him everywhere

Is he in heaven? Is he in hell?

That demmed elusive Pimpernel?"

Sir Percy thought he left his enemy vanquished, humiliated, and debased in Calais.

Oh, how foolish he was.

Now Chauvelin is bent on revenge.

As punishment for letting the Scarlet Pimpernel escape the clutches of the French Republic, Chauvelin was demoted from the ranks of Robspierre's trusted few.

But he will have his day.

Laying a trap for the wife of Sir Percy, Lady Marguerite, is only the first step.

Can Sir Percy elude the blade of Madame Guillotine a second time, defend his honor as the Scarlet Pimpernel, and save his wife from a fate worse than death?

Baroness Emma Orczy brings us the third thrilling installment in her iconic adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel, pitting Sir Percy against the wily Chauvelin once again in a battle of wit and cunning that stands between thousands of innocent lives and the ignominious the bite of Madame Guillotine.
