This fourth installment finds jovial League leader Tobias Walton, along with faithful assistant Sundry Moss, as guests at the eccentric Fern Farmaand unlikely counselors to a depressed pigawhere they tangle with Portlandas most infamous gangster, have a run-in with a flying piano, and race to rescue a beautiful balloonist: the eponymous Mrs. Roberto, aascensionista extraordinaire. As always, Reid cooks up a fanciful feast of derring-do and romance, seasoned with Yankee wit and topped with a generous helping of hilarity. His devoted fans will devour every page of it.
