The book is an investigation into the mysterious circumstances surrounding the production of the Waverley Novels, a series of historical fiction novels published by Sir Walter Scott under the pseudonym ''Author of Waverley.''

Fitzpatrick’s investigation includes interviews with contemporary writers, publishers, and scholars, as well as a thorough examination of Scott’s personal papers and correspondence.
