Dark Satanic Mill

Über Dark Satanic Mill

Cheshire 1813. A tale set against the turbulent backdrop of Luddite riots and the final years of the Napoleonic Wars. Robbie Enright is a teenage orphan indentured at a remote cotton-spinning mill called Providence, owned by the eminent Samuel Stead. In this highly-successful enterprise reliant on child labour all is not as it seems, however. Several of the female hands have disappeared, supposedly escaping from the mill¿s harsh discipline. Robbie, suspecting a terrible secret, is forced to contend with the mill¿s authorities, not least Titus Bredlow, the sadistic overlooker. Bright and courageous, Robbie has no resources and only one friend: Ned Wainwright, a notorious Luddite and a wanted man. Against the odds he is determined to expose the truth ¿ not least because he¿s fallen in love with the mill¿s newest arrival ¿ pretty Mary Pepper.
