The Scottish Prisoner

The last (besides the short stories) Lord John book was really fun (I keep saying that about these books, but seriously, so much dry, witty humor that just doesn't come across on the TV show). There's another Jacobite rebellion brewing and John's older brother asks John to go talk to Jamie to have a note translated. John refuses (their last face to face conversation did not go well), so Hal brings Jamie to London and tasks John with taking him to Ireland to arrest one of the men he thinks is a traitor. The book is told in alternating points of view between John and Jamie. In the end they are able to mend their friendship and Jamie goes back to Helwater. Can we have more Lord John books? Please??
