However, when local ladies' man 'Beau' Whittaker discovers a flag dating from the battle of Lexington hidden in the family church, a profitable sale seems likely. However, American air force colonel Fellowes claims the flag as being stolen from his family two hundred years earlier. With the local vicar entering the fray, it is as well that the Shotleys own a priceless set of model soldiers whose sale could ease their worries. Written by don @ minifie-1 See less
