A direct order from The Duke - one of Europe's most powerful industrial tycoons - quite literally cushions his fall. Why all the trouble to keep a dying man alive? The Duke has learned that an attempt will be made to kidnap a member of the Royal Family from the exclusive academy he attends in the remote highlands. Raeburn's assignment: join the faculty at Markland school...and foil the plot. Alastair Dunnett weaves an ingeniously calculated web of suspense in NO THANKS TO THE DUKE - and climaxes it with a chilling chase across the Scottish moors that compares with the classic sequence in "The Thirty-Nine Steps".| Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
