The Thief Taker

London, 1725.

William Dempsey, known across the capital as the "Thief Taker" runs an empire. At a time before a police force, he prosecutes on a whim, and profits from criminal takings. Decides who lives and who hangs. But when one of his fiercest rivals is murdered, and not at his hand, the London underworld is turned upside down as he faces his strongest test. Who can he trust, and who should he hunt down?

Based on a real-life thief taker called Jonathan Wild, this tale shines a light on the underbelly of corruption, political intrigue and downright thuggery at play in Georgian London.
