I don't know how Magnet manage to keep going on the things they publish. This has Peyton's name, true, but the market for a two hundred page historical in a dreary cover must be rather restricted. When consumptive Lord Ironminster loses an arm. Ned Rowlands is the only driver who'll do for the coach-mad nobleman who's determined to in a bet by driving to London in record time. Follows a Regency tale of skulduggery (villainous cousins!) prize-fighting, romance and courtroom intrigue. Competently-written, escapist stuff for a very small minority.
