Gallows Thief by Bernard Cornwell

Rider Sandman was a gentleman until his father speculated with other people's money and committed suicide on his ruin; now he is penniless and lives in a tavern in London frequented by the underworld. He is engaged by the Home Office to establish the guilt of a man waiting to hang - young Charles Corday, a portrait painter who allegedly raped and murdered his subject the beautiful Countess of Avebury. It all sounds straightforward until he interviews the man in Newgate…but just who did do the murder if not him? Rider's path will lead to the highest in the land and his own life in danger before he finds out the truth.
