Media Reviews
'It looks like Marston has another hit series on his hands' The Aberdeen Press and Journal 'With characteristic skill, Edward Marston draws the reader into a threatening historical underworld, where the hangman's shadow looms over the unwitting criminal' Good Book Guide 'Marston is plainly on cracking form. The ratting and boxing scenes in the East End are positively Hogarthian in their depiction of filth and overcrowding; you can almost smell the squalor' Historical Novels Review
