Description
Anglesey, 1799.
Principal Officer Dan Foster of the Bow Street Runners is sent to collect smuggler Watcyn Jones from Beaumaris Gaol on Anglesey, and bring him back to London for trial at the Old Bailey. As if having to travel to the wilds of North Wales isn't bad enough, Dan is saddled with an inexperienced constable as his interpreter and assistant. At least it's a routine assignment and shouldn't take more than a few days.
But when the prison escort is ambushed and Watcyn Jones escapes, a straightforward transfer turns into a desperate manhunt. And as Jones's enemies start to die, the chase becomes more urgent than ever. Dan's search for the killer brings him up against a ruthless smuggling gang - and his chances of getting of the island alive begin to look far from promising.
The Contraband Killings is the fourth Dan Foster Mystery. Bloodie Bones, the first in the series, was joint winner of the Historical Novel Society Indie Award 2016.
