Book Description

This historical adventure filled with menace and mayhem by a New York Times–bestselling author "keep[s] the story twisting unpredictably."*
World Fantasy and Bram Stoker award-winning author
At the dawn of the eighteenth century, Matthew Corbett, professional problem solver, has left New York for Charles Town on an assignment from his agency—and vanished. As his friend Hudson Greathouse sets out to track him down, he has no idea that Matthew is across the sea in London's notorious Newgate Prison, accused of murdering a Prussian count and targeted by a masked vigilante. Now Hudson, accompanied by Matthew's beloved Berry Grigsby, must sail to England in hopes of saving him in time . . .
Featuring Daniel Defoe as a fellow inmate at Newgate, this whirlwind tale of mystery and adventure comes from Robert McCammon, the World Fantasy and Bram Stoker award-winning author of the Matthew Corbett novels, as well as such classics as Swan Song and Boy's Life.
"Rousing . . . Matthew quickly becomes embroiled in mysteries involving fellow inmate Daniel Defoe; a gin-running street gang, the Black-Eyed Broodies; a kidnapped Italian opera singer; and a masked avenger." —* Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Praise for the Matthew Corbett Novels
"This popular series takes us to a long forgotten time with characters who never fail to entertain." — Florida Times-Union
"Matthew is a very well designed character, very much a man of his time but also ahead of his time, as though he has stepped out of a modern-day crime lab into the early eighteenth century." — Booklist
