London 1727 - and Tom Hawkins is about to fall from his heaven of card games brothels and coffee-houses to the hell of a debtors' prison. The Marshalsea is a savage world of its own with simple rules: those with family or friends who can lend them a little money may survive in relative comfort. Those with none will starve in squalor and disease. And those who try to escape will suffer a gruesome fate at the hands of the gaol's rutheless governor and his cronies. The trouble is Tom Hawkins has never been good at following rules - even simple ones. And the recent grisly murder of a debtor Captain Roberts has brought further terror to the gaol. While the Captain's beautiful widow cries for justice the finger of suspicion points only one way: to the sly enigmatic figure of Samuel Fleet. Some call Fleet a devil a man to avoid at all costs. But Tom Hawkins is sharing his cell. Soon Tom's choice is clear: get to the truth of the murder - or be the next to die. A twisting mystery a dazzling evocation of early 18th Century London THE DEVIL IN THE MARSHALSEA is a thrilling debut novel full of intrigue and suspense.
