Autumn, 1728.
Life is good for Thomas Hawkins and Kitty Sparks in their home above the Cocked Pistol, Kitty’s wickedly disreputable bookshop.
But when Tom is attacked by a street gang, he discovers there’s a price on his head.
Who wants him dead – and why?
For Tom and Kitty, the answer is only the beginning of the nightmare.
The Silver Collar by Antonia Hodgson is published in paperback on 5 August, 2021.
