MOTHER NIGHT - KURT VONNEGUT TASCHENBUCH

London  1727 - and Tom Hawkins is about to fall from his heaven of card games  brothels and
coffee-houses to the hell of a debtors' prison.  The Marshalsea is a savage world of its own 
with simple rules: those with family or friends who can lend them a little money may survive in
relative comfort. Those with none will starve in squalor and disease. And those who try to
escape will suffer a gruesome fate at the hands of the gaol's rutheless governor and his
cronies.  The trouble is  Tom Hawkins has never been good at following rules - even simple
ones. And the recent grisly murder of a debtor  Captain Roberts  has brought further terror to
the gaol. While the Captain's beautiful widow cries for justice  the finger of suspicion points
only one way: to the sly  enigmatic figure of Samuel Fleet.  Some call Fleet a devil  a man to
avoid at all costs. But Tom Hawkins is sharing his cell. Soon  Tom's choice is clear: get to
the truth of the murder - or be the next to die.  A twisting mystery  a dazzling evocation of
early 18th Century London  THE DEVIL IN THE MARSHALSEA is a thrilling debut novel full of
intrigue and suspense.
