Growing up at a coaching inn on the Great North Road in the early
1700s, young Davy Gadd is enthralled by tales of the greatest of
highwaymen, Claude Duval. Seeking his fortune in London, he is
entangled in the machinations of Under City Marshal Charles Hitchin
and the infamous Jonathan Wild, in their battle to divide up the
spoils of the criminal underworld. At last, equipped with horse,
pistols and velvet mask, he sets out as a Gentleman of the Road.
But not before he has been loved by a Jacobite lord, dressed up by
Lucinda and Aunty Mary, and been married at Mother Clap's Molly
House. And at the end of the road, will he Pass into Legend, or
does his fate lead to Tyburn tree, where so many glamorous
adventurers have been hanged?
