Hunting down highwaymen was not the usual preserve of a Bow Street Runner. As the most resourceful of this elite band of investigators, Matthew Hawkwood was surprised to be assigned the case - even if it did involve the murder and mutilation of a naval courier. Soon Hawkwood finds himself pursuing a trail that leads him from the squalor of St Giles Rookery, Londons notorious den of thieves and cutthroats, to the brightly lit salons of the aristocracy and the heart of the British government. But it is only with the discovery of a corpse on the banks of the Thames that the true agenda behind the robbery begins to emerge and a dark conspiracy is revealed. Napoleons agents are preparing to launch an assassination attempt that will turn the tide of the war - and only Hawkwood can stop them.--BOOK JACKET.
