She is Moll Walbee, and she has left her reputation as a notorious pickpocket far behind her in the slums of Paris. The handsome higwayman who waylays the stagecoach is also not what he seems. He is Richard Carling, recently dismissed from his regiment and now a Gentleman of the Road. But all he steals from Moll is a kiss... And so on the road a partnership is born that will be refined in trust and betrayal, that will lead to danger and high adventure in England, on the ocean wave, and to a dramatic climax in the wilds of Australia.
