Third in the Sir John Fielding, Bow Street Magistrate, series, set in 1769 London. Lady Fielding's son returns from a 3-year sea voyage on the HMS Adventure. At the same time, Sir John is asked by an admiral and old friend to assist him in the court-martial trial of an officer on the Adventure who is accused of pushing the Captain overboard during a bad storm. Story told from the perspective of Jeremy, a 14-year-old who has been âadopted' by Sir John and works as his assistant and messenger. I'm enjoying this series and this book was an excellent entry in it.
