About this listen

London, 1716. Revenge is a dish best served ice-cold…

The city is caught in the vice-like grip of a savage winter. Even the Thames has frozen over. But for Jonas Flynt—thief, gambler, killer—the chilling elements are the least of his worries…

Justice Geoffrey Dumont has been found dead at the base of St Paul’s cathedral, and a young male sex-worker, Sam Yates, has been taken into custody for the murder. Yates denies all charges, claiming he had received a message to meet the judge at the exact time of death.

The young man is a friend of courtesan Belle St Clair, and she asks Flynt to investigate. As Sam endures the horrors of Newgate prison, they must do everything in their power to uncover the truth and save an innocent life, before the bodies begin to pile up.

But time is running out. And the gallows are beckoning...

A totally enrapturing portrayal of eighteenth-century London, and a rapier-like crime thriller, perfect for fans of Laura Shepherd-Robinson, Antonia Hodgson and Ambrose Parry.

Thoroughly enjoyed this and previous Jonas Flint escapades. The detail of life in Georgian London, England, & Scotland is well researched. Loved the way the author weaved the story through real life history. The narration by David Monteath is excellent bringing the characters of this historical mystery to life on audio. Eager for next listen, Thank you Douglas Skelton for an excellent story of intrigue, human suffering and revenge! Maybe avoid listening at meal times🤣🫨

Great story, loved it!

I have really enjoyed the 2 books so far. If you like SG Mclean, CJ Samsom, you will enjoy this series. I love historical novels, based on some real people and events, and this is a period of history I have little knowledge of. Well written and narrated. Looking forward to book 3.

More please!

Good story , good Characters, in murky old London, and the frozen Thames has always fascinated me. I love the detailed descriptions and historical details as explained at the end. I am a fan of Bernard Cornwell and how he ties fictional stories to real events, I would recommend this series of books to Cornwell fans. Excellent narration as always from David Monteath. I shall be continuing to work my way through the series.

I love the characters... inc early 18thC London

This is book 2 of the series ‘A Company of Rogues’ and like book 1 it is excellent. It’s well written with some great characters and intriguing and interesting plots. The descriptions of the era also help with the feel of the book. If you like historical fiction give this series a try.
This book like book 1 was so compelling that I listened practically non stop. Great narration by the talented David Monteath.
Time to download book 3.

Excellent
