- Synopsis
- A lively tale of &“pitch-perfect suspense&” set in eighteenth-century England—one of Publishers Weekly&’s Top Ten Crime/Mystery Novels of the Year. Winner of the CWA Historical Dagger Award London, 1728. Tom Hawkins is headed to the gallows, accused of murder. Gentlemen don&’t hang, and Tom will be damned if he&’s the first—he is innocent, after all. It&’s hard to say when Tom&’s troubles began. He was happily living in sin with his beloved—though their neighbors weren&’t happy about that. He probably shouldn&’t have told London&’s great criminal mastermind that he was in need of adventure. Nor should he have joined the king&’s mistress in her fight against her vindictive husband. And he definitely shouldn&’t have trusted the calculating Queen Caroline. She&’s promised him a royal pardon if he holds his tongue, but there&’s nothing more silent than a hanged man. Now Tom&’s scrambling to save his life and protect those he loves. But as the noose tightens, his time is running out.
