First published in 1927, Sir Percy Hits Back is (chronologically) the ninth book in the Scarlet Pimpernel series by Baroness Orczy.
A French-language version, translated and adapted by Charlotte and Marie-Louise Desroyses, was also published under the title La Vengeance du Mouron Rouge.
For young and pretty Fleurette the revolution seems far away until an aristocratic neighbouring family is threatened. Now, the dangers are all too real, and she is accused of being a traitor. Can her father save her? Fleurette's father is ironically Armand Chauvelin. For the first time the villainous agent is forced to ask his arch-enemy, the heroic Scarlet Pimpernel, for help.
