Bernard, A quick questions… I read Gallow’s Thief recently- I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed the character of Jack Hood. I can’t believe for a second that you set him up as a notorious highwaymen, then gave us his sister Sally Hood, the love interest of the eponymous hero, and expect us to believe you aren’t going to follow that up sometime in the future? yeah right! Anyway, the question is, simply, where did you get your sources for the Robin Redbreasts; the men in charge or guarding the highways from brigands during the Regency period? I ask because I am trying to research them within the context of the development of a modern police force and I’m not having much luck- do you remember what your sources were during the conception of the novel? Any help you can provide would be much appreciated. R. Kulb
