The Bow Street Rivals series is set in Regency-era London and features twin brothers Peter and Paul Skillen, who both work as Bow Street Runners, the precursors to London’s modern police force. The brothers have a competitive relationship but share a talent for investigation.
Five books were published between 2015 and 2021, starting with Shadow of the Hangman. Marston uses the early policing system and the colorful streets of Regency London as the backdrop for mysteries that often involve the gallows, the criminal underworld, and the political tensions of the era.
