Sent to Scotland from his East European homeland to bring back the grand-daughter of the last Archduke, Feliks Berisovic, with the very best of intentions, rescues the wrong woman, antagonizes a psychopath, and shoots an undercover agent, thereby incurring the wrath of almost everyone including the security forces. But whose security forces? There is always a danger the psychopath will get to the Duchess before Feliks does. Even if the wrong woman turns out to be the right one there's still no guarantee of a happy ending, when everyone carries on making mistakes.
