Georgian London 1751

A body falls from a theatre balcony…

A Royal Prince in danger of corruption…

When Will Archer is assigned to be mentor to a young Prince he is drawn into a world of Royal pretence and political scheming that leads him to the notorious Hellfire Club and repellent trade in young women.

In a race to protect the innocent Will Archer treads a dangerous path through society scandal and aristocratic entitlement – only to witness a momentous national tragedy.

Once again Colin Eston brings the whole range of Georgian society to authentic and spirited life.
