The year 1783 finds the young Roger Brook fresh out of school and seeking his fame and fortune in France. Brook gets involved with two women, and in the secrets of French foreign policy, much to the peril of everyone involved. The Launching of Roger Brook is a perfect coming of age story where we see naivety, love, temptation and adventure propelling us across countries, with a host of surprising and unexpected characters. The Shadow of Tyburn Tree sees Brook return to cheat death yet again. Now an established secret agent, he is sent on a mission to Russia where his heart will make sure that nothing runs smoothly.
