'"Ratcatcher" is a richly enjoyable and impressively researched novel – also very gripping. James McGee is clearly a rising star in the historical galaxy and I look forward to Hawkwood's return’ Andrew Taylor, author of 'The American Boy'
Any town that could inspire such anger in a Prime Minister that he ordered its entire boat fleet burnt to a cinder has got to be worth a mention in any one's book. Well, it was in mine....
Deal was the town and it was Deal's role in the smuggling trade during the 18th and 19th centuries that inflamed the wrath of William Pitt, Britain's then premier politician, and gave me the idea for Rapscallion, the third Matthew Hawkwood adventure; a tale of prison hulks, French privateers and the landing of contraband on moonlit beaches. But the link with the `wicked trade' is just one of Deal's claims to fame. The castle, built by Henry VIII, guarded the Downs, the vast anchorage that was home to the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars, and Horatio Nelson walked Deal's narrow streets. Who wouldn't want to follow in the footsteps of Britain's greatest naval hero and retrace history?
