The Crime Writers’ Association

Judges notes:

AJ West’s The Betrayal of Thomas True, is set in the excitement and squalor of eighteenth century London, as Thomas True, fleeing from the countryside, tries to find a new way for a man of his proclivities to live. But while London offers new freedoms, it also offers new threats as the forces of Morality seek to clean the streets.
