"Cold with horror at the revolting deed I gazed into the dark eyes of the murderer. He smiled as he answered my look and shrugged his shoulders as if excusing the crime. ''A blow for freedom, senhor!'' he announced, in his soft, native patois. ''Dom Miguel would be grieved were you captured by the police.''" One day, Robert Harcliffe is working for his uncle''s mercantile business in New Orleans. The next, he narrowly escapes imprisonment and is rescued by a shadowy assassin in Brazil. When Dom Miguel de Pintra wrote to his uncle in search of a capable American secretary, the businessman sent Robert, a young college graduate. On Dom Miguel''s plantation, he becomes enamored with the republican cause and soon participates in revolutionary action against the Empire of Brazil.
