and riot. Then Lord Oldfield’s gamekeeper, Josh Castle, is murdered during a
poaching raid. Dan Foster, Bow Street Runner and amateur pugilist, is sent to
investigate.
Dan’s
job is to infiltrate the poaching gang and bring the killers to justice. But
there’s more to Castle’s death than at first sight appears. What is the secret
of the gamekeeper’s past and does it have any connection with his murder? What
is Lord Oldfield concealing? And did someone beside the poachers have a reason
to want Josh Castle dead?
As

and his fighting skills to stay alive and get to the truth.
