A triumph, a fine addition to a historical crime series that gets
better with every book. Antonia Hodgson gives us dark melodrama
with wit, and a driving narrative with impeccable research . . . it
leaves the reader hungry for more - Andrew Taylor The next
rip-roaring thriller from Antonia Hodgson, featuring Thomas Hawkins
Autumn, 1728. Life is good for Thomas Hawkins and Kitty Sparks. The
Cocked Pistol, Kitty's wickedly disreputable bookshop, is a roaring
success. Tom's celebrity as 'Half-Hanged Hawkins', the man who
survived the gallows, is also proving useful. Their happiness
proves short-lived. When Tom is set upon by a street gang, he
discovers there's a price on his head. Who on earth could want him
dead - and why? With the help of his ward, Sam Fleet, and Sam's
underworld connections, Tom's investigation leads to a fine house
in Jermyn Street, the elegant, enigmatic Lady Vanhook and an
escaped slave by the name of Jeremiah Patience. But for Tom and
Kitty, discovering the truth is only the beginning of the
nightmare. A powerful, deeply immersive thriller, The Silver Collar
is both a celebration of love and friendship, and a terrifying
exploration of evil. 'Hodgson once again shows what a skilful
writer of historical thrillers she is' The Sunday Times Praise for
Antonia Hodgson 'In a tale that more than matches its predecessors
for pace and atmosphere, Hawkins is forced into confrontation with
a psychopathic killer . . . hugely enjoyable' - The Sunday Times
'One of the most impressive practitioners of the historical crime
genre' - Independent
