Summary:
In the cobbled streets outside Newgate Prison, the common and
desperate of London gather regularly to enjoy the spectacle of human
necks broken at the end of a hangman's rope.For Rider Sandman, newly
returned from the Napoleonic Wars, it is not grim entertainment that
draws him here, but a mission to prove the guilt or innocence of a
condemned prisoner -- a duty that leads Sandman from the hellish
bowels of Newgate to the scented drawing rooms of the ruthless and
powerful, and into the darkest shadows of the filthy, bustling city,
in search of the truth.
