The Thief-Takers, A Tale of Murder and Revenge

Master Foundryman Peter Garye is seeking revenge upon the villains who brutally murdered his father on their farm in Staffordshire, England. But his journey of vengeance takes an unexpected turn when he foils a highwayman's attempted robbery and ends up learning the lucrative practice of "thief-taking" - capturing and turning in criminals for reward money. As Peter continues the search for his father's killers, he and his partner, George Ludlow, realize their not-so-legitimate business venture is as dangerous as it is profitable. As they attempt to foil the criminal plans of notorious "Thief-Taker General" Jonathan Wild, Peter and George suddenly find themselves targets in an elaborate scheme crafted by the very mastermind behind Peter's father's death.Based on actual events in 18th century London, The Thief-Takers is an intriguing latticework of greed, deception and cold-blooded justice.
