Adam sits back and watches the authorities do nothing while a highwayman robs almost everyone who travels to and from London. They all care more about gossiping and comparing increasingly exaggerated stories than catching the thief. But Adam has a plan. He knows he can track the man, maybe even catch him… When William realizes the magistrate’s son is trailing him, he tries to teach Adam a lesson. But his schemes to scare the young man away don’t go as planned, and soon William is far too enthralled to let Adam escape … leaving Adam to discover for himself why he’s really spent so long pursuing his masked highwayman.
