"When justice becomes purchasable, a mask rises against the power of an entire government…"
A threatening letter reaches Sir Jeffrey Hamilton, Chief Justice of the Cape. The mysterious Masked Robber demands the acquittal of a farmer who is unjustly accused. The Governor laughs it off until the Masked Robber himself appears and turns the court day into chaos.
The victory awakens hope among the citizens, but also attracts the attention of a new figure, the sharp and calculating Dennis Atterbury. He pretends to be a friend to the citizens, but twists the truth into high treason, ensuring that nine farmer leaders are sentenced to death.
While the gallows waits, loyalty and betrayal become entangled. Atterbury, in reality the powerful Earl of Dunfolk, lays his trap. But the Masked Robber and his men prepare a daring plan. A masterful switch where soldiers and prisoners change places, and the truth is exposed on the gallows itself.
When the hoods fall, the Cape is humiliated before the world and only one mask still stands triumphant. And then comes the most shocking news. Atterbury's government has fallen in England, the Governor is recalled, and the citizens' demands are granted. The Masked Robber has defied impossible powers and won.
A historical adventure full of suspense, betrayal, and victory, where the future of the Cape is attributed to a masked hero in the dark of night.
