The Ridenhour twins have once again found themselves sent down from Eton and in the care of their guardian, the Earl of Ravenstock. But rather than let the boys kick their heels back and enjoy the fruits of the season, Ravenstock briskly packs them up and takes them for an extended visit to his godmomma in Bath. The twins, far from being perturbed at their Uncle Jasper, are soon up to their usual hijinks as only boys of sixteen are prone to find.
On their first day in town, they run over a lovely creature named Miss Lydia Pritchard, who not only shares their love of the ridiculous but who also happens to be Lady Avery's trusted companion. Isn't it just the most delightful of circumstances that Lady Avery also happens to be Uncle Jasper's godmomma? Things in Bath seem to be heating up, for all is not as it appears. And trust that our hero will not leave a stone unturned until the mystery surrounding his God mama's unusual companion is resolved. Let's hope that dear Ravenstock can hold onto his wits throughout the process.
