Description

London, 1728. A young man is driven to the gallows at Tyburn, accused of murder. But Tom Hawkins is innocent, and he must prove it before it's too late. His troubles began when he told the most dangerous criminal in London that he was bored and looking for adventure, and then offered to help the king's mistress. Now, he's promised a royal pardon if he keeps quiet, but the silence of a hanged man is a heavy burden to bear. Based on actual events, this novel is a sequel to The Devil in the Marshalsea and a standalone historical mystery. It reveals a world of seduction and danger, from the gilded cage of the Court to the darker freedoms of the slums. Tom Hawkins' story continues, but will he find a way to survive the noose? With its vivid portrayal of 18th-century London, this book is a gripping historical mystery that explores the complexities of loyalty, power, and survival.
