Publisher's Synopsis
A hanging always draws a crowd. But not everyone there has come to jeer. George Kevill's son Barney is in the front row, and he knows his father is innocent. There are others there who know George is innocent, too - and who have every reason to want to silence his boy. Barney finds sanctuary amongst his father's bohemian friends. They will protect Barney and seek to uncover the conspiracy behind a dark secret that lies at the heart of the Victorian establishment.
