The Conrad Letters

When English cad Conrad Wilkinson leaves friends, family, and fiance for a jaunt in New York City, the world sees only a playboy jumping the pond. But when the festering secrets of a sleepy English village and the glittering knife-edge of a major metropolis collide, more than one man's life may hang in the balance...

November 14, 1911 (Roger to Mme. 4)

Mother,

I have received an alarming piece of news. Uncle Henry intends to ship Conrad back to England on the 22nd of this month! As Ned he has sent me ten pounds with the instructions to get Conrad onto the ship "No matter his state of inebriation."

What should I do?

As ever, I await your orders.
Your obedient,
Roger

P.S. Do you know where I can get a good exchange rate on British Pounds?
