Charley Feather

When the notorious Dick Turpin is hanged, Charlie Feather is watching and learning. At just fourteen years of age, Charley, an apprentice highwayman, knows that betrayal is common and that a short, brutal life may come to a sudden end on the steps of the gallows. Abandoned at birth, shunted from one "foster mother" to another, streetwise Charley trusts no one—especially when there are dark secrets to keep.
