Description

Luke Rookwood and Ranulph's rivalry hardens while Sybil's fate and Dick Turpin's flight drive the inheritance war deeper into betrayal and pursuit. Spoken as when the second volume still asks whose claim the night ride will decide.

Author

William Harrison Ainsworth (1805–1882) was the great Victorian showman of historical romance — a novelist who filled magazines and bookstalls with highwaymen, witches, Tudor courts, and London underworlds. Rookwood made Dick Turpin a legend; Jack Sheppard turned a thief into a popular hero; The Lancashire Witches brought the Pendle trials back to feverish life.
