Readers who enjoyed Bruce Alexander's outstanding Sir John Fielding series will rejoice in going back to the same era and reading this new series featuring Robert Fairfax, the half-English half-French tutor who, in his first position finds himself obliged to defend his 19 yr. old pupil from a charge of murder. The innocent student languishes in wretched Newgate prison awaiting trial and execution while Fairfax desperately seeks to clear him by discovering the real perpetrator and proof of guilt before time runs out.
Hannah March captures the character of the period and presents a well-rendered gallery of rogues, villains and some vixens to rouse, then hold, her readers' interest.
