Resumen del Editor

The year is 1820 and England has fought its last victorious battle against the French. Rider Sandman, a hero of Waterloo, has finally returned to London to wed his young bride. But instead of being able to settle down to his fame and glory, he finds himself penniless in a country where unemployment and social unrest are raging high, and where men - innocent or guilty - are hung for the merest of crimes. Thus, when the Home Secretary offers him a job as private investigator - to re-open the case of a death-row candidate accused of murder - Sandman readily accepts, as much for the money as for a chance to see justice being done in a country gone to ruins. Soon, however, he is up to his elbows in grisly a murder plot that keeps thickening as Sandman makes his way through gentleman’s clubs and shady taverns, aristocratic mansions and fashionable painters studios, unerringly determined to rescue the innocent young man from the rope. But someone doesn’t want the truth revealed...

Love it

One of the very best of Bernard Cornwall’s novels! Do not hesitate just buy it. The narrative was as wonderful as the story. I was lucky to have chosen this story.

Enjoyable, but not Bernard Cornwell’s Best

This is an enjoyable mystery set in London two years after the Battle of Waterloo.

Exciting Story

I wish there was a sequel! This story left me wishing for more. Character development was exceptional as expected for Bernard Cornwell's work.

Interesting Historical Fiction

This seems like a post-war tale of Richard Sharpe with the Sargent cast as Watson and Sharpe recast as a less discerning Holmes. Nonetheless it is a good book.

I really look forward to Bernard Cornwell novels

Jonathan Keeble makes them better. Another suspenseful novel by Cornwell with a hero, heroine and sidekick that is well written and well read. Can't wait to dive into his next one.

Wow!

Cornwell is on form! The history, intrigue, and brash spirit of 18th century England dances off the page in this one. With Keeble at the microphone this book couldn’t get any better. 5 stars without a doubt!

Cornwell's Funniest! So good.

Cornwell not really known for his humor, but anyone who has read Sharpe knows he can be very funny. I think this is his funniest. So enjoyable.
The narrator may not get voices right much of the time (age, etc) but he has great comedic timing.
