Catriona

Uncovering a governmental conspiracy to frame a friend for murder puts David Balfour on the run and striving to protect the woman he-s come to love.

Released with the title David Balfour when originally released in the United States, Catriona is Robert Louis Stevenson-s follow-up to Kidnapped.
