'A historical crime series that gets better with every book' Andrew Taylor
'Intelligent and engrossing read' Sunday Times
'Historical fiction just doesn't get any better than this. Magnificent!' Jeffery Deaver
'A terrific swash-and-buckle story' Daily Mail
London, 1728.
A young, well-dressed man is driven through streets of jeering onlookers to the gallows at Tyburn.
They call him a murderer. But Tom Hawkins is innocent and somehow he has to prove it.
It is, of course, all his own fault.
He was happy settling down with Kitty Sparks. He should never have told the most dangerous criminal in London that he was bored and looking for adventure.
He should never have offered to help, the king's mistress.
And most of all, he should never have trusted the witty, calculating Queen Caroline. She has promised him a royal pardon if he holds his tongue but then again, there is nothing more silent than a hanged man. . .
From the gilded cage of the Court to the wicked freedoms of the slums, it reveals a world both seductive and deadly. And it continues the rake's progress of Tom Hawkins - assuming he can find a way to survive the noose...

Reseñas de la crítica
She is one of the most impressive practitioners of the historical crime genre.
A fast-paced adventure that places Hawkins amongst criminals, court intrigue and conspiracies.
A rattling, rakish romp through Georgian London. More please! (William Ryan, author of The Constant Soldier)
Dark, twisting and witty. Dripping with 18th century intrigue - from the slums to the palaces of London. (S D Sykes, author of PLAGUE LAND)
Hodgson has again married immaculate research to the rip-roaring pace of the modern thriller and come up with a triumphant slice of historical fiction.
[A] rip-roaring historical thriller . . . I look forward to seeing what scurries out of the dark and grimy streets in Hodgson's next masterpiece.
Intelligent and engrossing reading.
A rip-roaring ride through Georgian London's back streets ...wonderfully atmospheric and entertaining
A fun, twisting, shock-riddled masterpiece
Full of character, suspense and atmosphere.
Tom Hawkins, The most engaging rake to appear in a historical novel since George Macdonald Fraser's Flashman. This is history brought brilliantly to stinking, screaming life.
A terrific swash-and-buckle story set in grimy, rumbustious London streets, the pace and plot never flag, the detail is a revelation (Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail)
Georgian London in all its gritty reality seeps from the pages of this exciting historical mystery. Told in flashbacks, it has plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader intrigued.
A lively plot, an engaging hero and a vividly recreated city with all its stench and pleasures. Great fun.
This magnificent story with its multiple twists and turns, part social history with an informative afterword, an exploration of many faces of evil, with a genuine romantic hero and heroine, is a book to linger over
Antonia Hodgson has a real feel for how people thought and spoke at the time - and God knows, that's a rare talent (Andrew Taylor, author of The Fires of London)
Something new in the world of historical crime fiction, with mesmerising detail and atmosphere
Hodgson has a knack for convincing dialogue that crackles with period cadence and flavour
Hodgson shows the seamy underbelly of Georgian London, and does for this era what C.J. Sansom and Rory Clements have done for Tudor times
Historical fiction just doesn't get any better than this (Jeffrey Deaver)
At times Hodgson even rivals Dickens
Any historical fiction enthusiast who isn't a Tom Hawkins fan, has probably just not read any yet
