After twenty years fighting for King and country overseas, Sergeant Joshua Kerry seeks to settle to a new life in India. Fate conspires against him.
Ordered back to England, he arrives in Nottingham, the town of his birth, on a day when a market place rally of framework knitters turns into a riot. It is the start of the Luddite rebellion.
His family are framework knitters. His duty is to uphold the law. Torn between loyalty to family and the crown in a spiralling conflict, he fears he may never return to India.
Set in Madras and Nottingham during the Napoleonic Wars, ‘What Buys a King’s Shilling?’ is the story of an honest soldier striving to hold firm to his convictions in a world of deceit, injustice and social turmoil.
