The Elusive Pimpernel
About this book
Spy-catcher Chauvelin travels to England to find Sir Percy Blakeney, the Scarlet Pimpernel, and take him back to France where he'll be put to death. With help from a struggling actress, Chauvelin attempts to bring the hero to justice.
Sir Percy Blakeney and his wife, Marguerite have left France and are currently staying in England. Following the events of the previous book, the French officer Chauvelin is even more committed to the capture of the elusive Scarlet Pimpernel. He hires a young actress, Désirée Candielle, to help manipulate both Marguerite and Sir Percy. When the parties collide, Chauvelin and Sir Percy are forced into a duel that has potentially fatal consequences for everyone involved.
The Elusive Pimpernel is another entry in the popular Scarlet Pimpernel series. It gives a better look at what drives the villainous Chauvelin. With the addition of his partner, Désirée, this is a multilayered story with higher stakes and a more dangerous outcome.
