Description

London, 1727. Tom Hawkins' world is one of card games, brothels and coffee-houses, but his luck is about to change forever as he falls into the harsh reality of the Marshalsea debtors' prison. In this savage environment, simple rules apply: those with family or friends who can lend them money may survive in relative comfort, while those without will starve in squalor and disease. A recent grisly murder has brought further terror to the gaol, and Tom's cellmate, Samuel Fleet, is at the centre of the suspicion. With the Captain's beautiful widow crying out for justice, Tom must choose between following the rules or uncovering the truth behind the murder - a decision that could mean life or death.
