Daniel Malden was born in 1712 in Ipswich.
By the time he was in his early twenties he was, along with his friend,
Dick Turpin, one of the most wanted men in Britain.
He gained particular notoriety as he escaped from the dreaded Newgate
Prison twice, once over the rooftops, once down the sewers. In the Suffolk
chapters, we visit the areas around Ipswich as well as Newmarket, Bury
and Bungay, where he was known to ride as a jockey. We also travel with
Dan Malden aboard sailing ships of the time.
The later chapters are set in the East end of London around Whitechapel.
As with my other historical novel, Lydia, virtually everyone in this story
actually existed. This book is a novel that attempts to use the existing
evidence to get as close to the true story of Daniel Malden as possible.
