Sinossi
Richard Sharpe sta vagando solo per Londra, amareggiato e quasi sul punto di lasciare l'esercito, quando un incontro fortuito lo porta a intraprendere una missione speciale: un viaggio a Copenaghen come scorta del nobile anglodanese Lavisser, che ha il delicato incarico di portare 43.000 ghinee d'oro al principe ereditario danese da parte di quello inglese. La corona inglese vuole infatti convincere la Danimarca a mettere la propria flotta al riparo nei porti britannici, perché i francesi - lo sfondo storico è sempre quello delle guerre napoleoniche - non possano impadronirsene. Sharpe deve garantire che il denaro affidato al non irreprensibile Lavisser arrivi a destinazione... ma non sarà facile.
