Aram
The County of Yorkshire, 1759. Late one summer afternoon a horseman is forced to confront a corpse swinging in chains from a squeaking gibbet post on Knaresborough forest.
The man in chains is familiar to the horseman. Only a few days before Felix Kendle covered the trial of Eugene Aram, in York, as a correspondent on the Gentleman’s Magazine.
Now he has come to Aram’s home town to witness the repercussions following his hanging. Knaresborough is divided as to the schoolmaster’s guilt and is set to riot. Aram is a true story of class and religious bigotry, fraud, incest and murder. The story unfolds through the investigative eyes of Kendle.
