Chris Nickson
Leeds, 1822. When Simon Westow's friend Davey Ashton is arrested for sedition, he is determined to clear his name. But Davey's not the only one who needs Simon's help - another man has been 'hocussed' by a mysterious young woman. Simon and his assistant Jane encounter murder, lies and betrayal as they attempt to save Davey and find the hocus girl.
