Synopsis
Seventeenth century England was a time of plenty for highwaymen, footpads, cut-purses and murderers. Travellers were aware of the need to be ever vigilant as hold-ups were frequent and robbers merciless.
Tamar Ellerby, the young daughter of a vicar, had always been rebellious - a tom-boy, preferring swords and pistols from an early age. When her father insisted on an arranged marriage, Tamar decided to leave home, heading for London. In need of money, Tamar successfully robbed a Bishop, enjoying the thrill of the unexpected, quickly supporting herself, using all her skills.
She was 'saved' by Cornelius Clarkson, a gambler and a robber who is intent on revenging the man who betrayed him. Tamar becomes convinced that Clarkson is not all he seems to be and plots to benefit from his ill-gotten gains. Can she succeed against such a devious character and avoid the ultimate fate of most of her contemporaries, the hangman's noose?
'The Elusive Robber' amply portrays the lives of people in 1680 England where life was cheap, poverty was widespread and a life of crime appealed to many. 'The Elusive Robber' introduces the reader to the real villainy, the real harshness, the real corruption of the times and is aimed at the adult fiction market, appealing to both men and women of all ages. An exciting, fast paced drama with many twists and turns the keeps the reader 'hooked' to the very end.
