1. Dancing
Kent, England, 1762. Bloody smuggling wars are raging on England’s southern coast. It’s a time of daring men and bold women, and deadly skirmishes between rival gangs and the law.
John Smith, a man both hanged and drowned, returns to his home village, swearing vengeance on the landowner who killed his father. There is no quarter asked or expected when Smith begins to carve out his place among the Free Traders of Kent.
With guile and violence, he is determined to make his mark. What he doesn’t know is that the Preventative Service has sent Ambrose Grant – their most effective man – to hunt him down. Soon, the two cross paths with life-changing consequences.
A riveting adventure set in mid-18th century England, Dancing is the first book in Malcolm Archibald’s The Rise Of An English Lawbreaker series.
2. Riding
The successful smuggler, John Smith has become a highwayman to safeguard his inland trade. Riding the roads as the Yellowhammer, he makes both friends and enemies as he robs the rich and powerful.
Yet his old companion Bess is in danger when the eccentric Lady Charlotte finds out who she is, and Lord Fitzwarren employs a killer to hunt Smith down. In a story full of backstabbing, cheating and deceit, Smith is in danger of being outmaneuvered by an expert.
With the killer on his heels, Smith has to toe the line between survival and keeping Bess safe. But can he manage to escape with his life, and his fortune, as he turns from dancing on the waves to riding the king’s highways?
A historical adventure set in 18th century England, ‘Riding’ is the second book in Malcolm Archibald’s ‘The Rise Of An English Lawbreaker’ series.

Add in the mysterious Mr. Jay, a group of scuffle-hunters and the Bow Street Runners, and Smith’s life once again becomes a series of adventures.
Facing his most dangerous foe yet, Smith will need to rely on his loyal friends, Bancroft and Judd. But is there more to them than meets the eye?
