- Baker & Taylor
When Waterloo veteran Rider Sandman returns home to England from the war, he finds his country rife with corruption and injustice, and takes a job investigating the case of a painter sentenced to hang for a murder he did not commit. - Baker & Taylor
When Waterloo veteran Rider Sandman returns home to England from the war, he finds his country rife with corruption, social unrest, and a justice system that sends innocent people to the gallows and takes a job investigating the case of a painter sentenced to hang for a murder he did not commit. Reprint. - HARPERCOLL
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.
