"The Black Moth" (1921) is a Georgian (set around 1751) romance novel by Georgette Heyer. This was her first novel.

Plot summary

Jack Carstares, oldest son of the Earl Wyncham, disgraced six years earlier, returns home and becomes a highwayman so that he is able to live in the land he loves without detection. One day while out riding he foils an abduction plot mastered by the infamous Duke of Andover. Injured while rescuing the damsel in distress, he is taken home by the thankful Diana Beauleigh and her Aunt Betty, to recover. Mystery and intrigue continue to the melodrama's end.

Heyer continues their stories in "These Old Shades". The names of her characters have changed, but she hints to their histories and personalities.
