Description

The entire year is 1820. Rider Sandman, a hero of Waterloo, returns to London to wed his girlfriend. But rather of settling down seriously to fame and glory, he finds himself penniless in a region where social unrest and high-unemployment trend, and where men—innocent or guilty—are hanged for the smallest of offenses. When heis offered employment as private eye to re open the case of the artist because of be hanged for a murder he did not dedicate, Sandman easily accepts—as much for the cash as for an opportunity to see justice done in a nation attended wrecks.
