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, before the rope squeezes the life out of him. 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. Based loosely on
actual events, Antonia Hodgson's new novel is both a sequel to The
Devil in the Marshalsea and a standalone historical mystery. 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...
