Synopses & Reviews
Henry Truscott, hero of The Rake and Purity, returns in Velvet Skin to continue his habits of indulgence and dissipation. There are ample opportunities in eighteenth century Devon for an imaginative aristocrat to pursue his perversions. Even so, Henry manages to find himself in trouble like being caught pony-carting by the local vicar, for example. But the fiendish, rapacious Lewis Stukely, a neighboring landowner, makes Truscott look like a monk and Stukely has designs on Suki, Truscott's beguiling servant girl.
