Jeremy Sturrock, a famous Bow Street Runner (early version of London’s police) finds himself in Brussels on a number of errands: to stop an assassination, to find the whereabouts of two very young ladies trying to elope with two young officers against their families wishes.
No matter what Sturrock is on the trail of , he still runs up against a good number of obstacles. Even with the help of his groom, Jagger, and his assistant, Master Maggsy, Sturrock manages to find himself locked in a wine cellar, while a battle is raging outside the house. While waiting for rescue from his groom and assistant, he partakes of the excellent selection stored in the cellar. Needless to say, he awakes a bit later with a pounding in his head that isn’t the war going on outside.
