Leeds, 1822. The body of Laurence Poole, a petty local thief, emerges from the melting snow by the river at Flay Cross Mill. Could a coded notebook found in his room explain what caused his death? Thief-taker Simon Westow's hunt for the truth pits him against some dangerous, powerful enemies who'll happily kill him in a heartbeat - if they can.
