Synopsis

Includes a bonus short story, Turpin's Dagger.

‘Experience the sights, sounds and smells of 18th Century England in a story guaranteed to thrill.' Richard James

Turpin’s Assassin
The highwayman Dick Turpin is now as famous as he is infamous.

His next ride could be his last.

Turpin travels to London, to sell on his latest haul to the fence, Joseph Colman, and see his mistress, the actress Marie Harley.

But the aristocrat and assassin, Pierre Vergier, has also recently travelled to the capital. The Frenchman is a hunter - and he has been given the name of his next prey.

But all is not what it seems.

Turpin negotiates his way through the criminal underworld and English society - realising that no soul is free from sin or folly. Including his own.

Turpin’s Rival
Richard Turpin, the famed highwayman, is out for revenge - against a rival outlaw, James Skinner, who butchered his friend, Tobias Vardy.

But, before Turpin can kill Skinner, he must first find him.
When Turpin finally catches up with his rival, he realises that his revenge may come at a cost - that of forsaking his own life and the lives of others.

Even legends can die.

Turpin’s Prize
The Rock of Light is one of the country's most valuable gemstones.

So valuable, that the highwayman Dick Turpin is about to risk capture - and his life - to secure the prize.

But the outlaw must employ guile, rather than force, to procure the priceless jewel.

Firstly, Turpin must arrange an invitation to the Duke of Somerset's estate, where the Rock of Light is located.

Secondly, the thief must steal the heart of Emma, his host's daughter, so she will relinquish the asset.

But not all goes according to plan.
