The Gallows Pole

`Powerful, visceral writing, historical fiction at its best. Benjamin Myers is one to watch` PAT BARKER`Phenomenal` SEBASTIAN BARRY`Superb` THE TIMESFrom his remote moorland home, David Hartley assembles a gang of weavers and land-workers to embark upon a criminal enterprise that will capsize the economy and become the biggest fraud in British history. They are the Cragg Vale Coiners and their business is `clipping` – the forging of coins, a treasonous offence punishable by death. When an excise officer vows to bring them down and with the industrial age set to change the face of England forever, Hartley`s empire begins to crumble. Forensically assembled, The Gallows Pole is a true story of resistance and a rarely told alternative history of the North.
