Victorian London is brought vividly to life in Ann Granger's fifth historical crime novel to feature Scotland Yard's Inspector Ben Ross and his wife Lizzie.
A hanged man would say anything to save his life. But what if his testimony is true?
When Inspector Ben Ross is called to Newgate Prison by a man condemned to die by the hangman's noose he isn't expecting to give any credence to the man's testimony. But the account of a murder he witnessed over seventeen years ago is so utterly believeable that Ben can't help wondering if what he's heard is true.
It's too late to save the man's life, but it's not too late to investigate a murder that has gone undetected for all these years.
Characterisation, as ever with Granger, is sharp and astringent * The Times *
The reader can expect a treat. Lively, different and fun * Yorkshire Post *
The plot is neat and ingenious ... a pleasure to read * Ham and High *
She is on to another winner * Birmingham Post *
