The Scarlet Pimpernel
by Baroness Orczy
1964, Pyramid Books
Romance, adventure - the thrilling exploits of an undercover agent!
Saved from the guillotine. The French Reign of Terror is at its height. The King and Queen have been beheaded hundreds of aristocrats are being slaughtered daily- and still the mobs howl for more heads.
Yet there are some who escape. Magically, inexplicably, whole families disappear from blood-mad Paris from the shadow of the guillotine.
And the only clue-a mocking note, signed with a drawing of a tiny red flower.
