[Samuel Shanklin SS 01] • Supply and Demand

Amid the bleak backwaters of 18th century Essex, an outlaw is tasked with collecting an overdue debt. But tanneries can hold secrets far worse than they smell.

Samuel Shanklin has seen the darker side of life since the day he was born. Putting fear in folk from the moment he learned that fear could put food on the table tends to come easy to a man who understands a knife is more than a tool for slicing bread. So when his employer wants unpaid rent from a recluse tenant living a long ride from the familiar stench of London, Shanklin and his reliable sidekick seize the opportunity for some country air. But it might just be that the air ain’t so fresh where leather’s being made and the pair soon find themselves tasting a little of their own foul medicine.

Supply And Demand. Twisted Historical Fiction at its finest.
