Reseña del editor:

London, 1727 – and Tom Hawkins is in trouble. The wayward son of a country parson, his taste for wine, women and cards has led him in irons to the notorious Marshalsea debtors' prison.

The Marshalsea is a dark and dangerous place at the best of times. But when an inmate is brutally murdered, the prison is soon gripped by fear and suspicion. Worst of all, Tom is sharing a cell with the prime suspect...

Now he must risk everything to uncover the truth – or be the next to die.

Críticas:

'There are enough plot twists to fill an upturned three-corner hat and a cast of memorable and believable inmates, good and bad. This is a riveting historical thriller that's finely crafted and difficult to put down.' Daily Mail 'Splendid... Impeccably researched and astonishingly atmospheric, with time past evoked so strongly that one can almost smell it, this is a truly spellbinding tale." The Guardian 'A damn'd good read.' -- Elizabeth Kostova author of The Historian 'Historical fiction just doesn't get any better than this.' -- Jeffery Deaver 'This really is something new in the world of historical fiction ... At times Hodgson even rivals Dickens.' Daily Expres
