Fatal Forgery

It’s 1824 in London and all financial crime leads straight to the scaffold. So why does Henry Fauntleroy steal everything from his own bank – and why does he confess so readily to his crime?

World-weary magistrates’ constable Sam Plank knows only too well that Regency London is not all romance, society balls and dashing dukes. Sent to arrest Henry Fauntleroy, Constable Plank is determined to find out why the banker has risked his reputation, his banking house – and his neck.

The case makes its way through the Regency justice system, exercising the finest legal minds of their generation and dividing London society into the banker’s supporters and detractors. And Sam Plank desperately races against time to find the answers that can save Fauntleroy’s life.

Fatal Forgery is the first book in an historical crime series set in London in the 1820s. If you like your Regency reading with some shadow and reality, then you’ll love walking alongside Constable Sam Plank.
