The Snare

The Duke of Wellington was on course to save Portugal during the Peninsula War but his success was dependent upon the loyalty of each and every one of his officers. When an unexpected blunder takes place, disloyal plotters seize their opportunity to cause havoc, and thwart Wellington's worthy plans. The result is a complex case of intrigue, revenge and tested loyalties.
