The Scottish prisoner / Diana Gabaldon.

Gabaldon, Diana. (Author).

Summary:

Lord John Grey has documents that expose the corruption of a high-ranking British officer. But they also elude to an even greater danger, one that sends Grey on a quest to the Irish country. Along the way, he seeks the aide of Jamie Fraser, a paroled Jacobite still fighting for Ireland's independence. Grey needs Fraser to help translate a message left in the language of the Scottish highlanders, but Fraser has his doubts about helping the British nobleman.
"This novel ties Lord John's story much more strongly into the Outlander series. Chronologically, it is set in the period between DRAGONFLY IN AMBER and VOYAGER. Jamie Fraser, a Scottish Jacobite officer paroled as a prisoner of war on an estate in the Lake District, finds the numbness of his days disturbed. First, by dreams of his dead wife, then by the presence of the small son he cannot claim. Much more disturbing is the sudden reappearance in his life of Lord John Grey, with a summons that will take him - again - from everything he values. Jamie is forced to help the Greys, in order to guard his own secrets." -- Provided by the Publisher.
