Author Biography Antonia Hodgson was born and grew up in Derby and studied English at the University of Leeds. Her debut novel, THE DEVIL IN THE MARSHALSEA, won the CWA Historical Dagger in 2014 and was shortlisted for the John Creasey First Novel award. In the US, Publishers Weekly named it one of the top 10 Mystery/Thriller titles of the year.She was first introduced to the early Georgians while taking A level History. Unfortunately the course focused almost exclusively on George IIs ministerial reshuffles, a subject even George II found staggeringly dull. It was only later, on discovering Hogarth, The Beggars Opera and Moll Flanders, that she became fascinated by an often-neglected period of British history. Her favourite quote about London in the 1720s comes from a disapproving Swiss traveller, who complained that debauch runs wild with an unblushing countenance. Antonia lives in London, where she works as an editor.
