Samuel Shanklin has seen the darker side of life since the day he was born. Putting fear in folk from the moment he learned that fear can put food on the table tends to come easily to a man who knows that a knife is more than a tool for slicing bread. So when his employer wants unpaid rent from a recluse tenant living a long ride from the familiar stench of London, Shanklin and his sidekick seize the opportunity for some country air.

Twisted historical fiction at its finest.
