Synopsis
In 1722, David Liss's perennial hero, Benjamin Weaver, has become an 18th-century celebrity after the publication of his sensational memoirs. He has also been condemned to hang for a murder he didn't commit. Managing to escape from Newgate Prison, he sets out to clear his name. But in the tense political climate of London, there are forces at work that have good reason to want him dead, and his task is made more difficult when he begins to suspect that the husband of the woman he hopelessly loves is involved in a plot to bring him down. The "spectacle of corruption" extends to every corner of London as Weaver struggles to save his own life--and as Liss treats the reader to a panoramic but lovingly detailed view of the city in all its sublimity and squalor.

Industry reviews
"With eloquent wit, Liss manipulates the concepts of misdirection and probability theory in his serpentine third novel....Weaver's somber, wry, knowing narrator's voice is a deadpan delight."
Kirkus  (01/01/2004)

"[Liss has] returned for another round with Weaver, and it's a pleasure to have him back....[Liss folds] bits of historical detail into his narrative with the deft touch of a pickpocket."
New York Times Book Review - Michael Agger (04/25/2004)

The story ...

"Moments after his conviction for a murder he did not commit, at a trial presided over by a judge determined to find him guilty, Benjamin Weaver is accosted by a stranger who cunningly slips a lockpick and a file into his hands. In an instant he understands two things: Someone had gone to a great deal of trouble to see him condemned to hang - and another equally mysterious agent is determined to see him free." "After a daring escape from eighteenth-century London's most notorious prison, Weaver must face another challenge: how to prove himself innocent of a crime when the corrupt courts have already shown they want only to see him hang. To discover the truth and clear his name, he will have to understand the motivations behind a secret scheme to extort a priest, uncover double-dealings in the unrest among London's dockworkers, and expose the conspiracy that links the plot against him to the looming national election - an election with the potential to spark a revolution and topple the monarchy." .

Unable to show his face in public, Weaver pursues his inquiry in the guise of a wealthy merchant who seeks to involve himself in the political scene. But he soon finds that the world of polite society and politics is filled with schemers and plotters, men who pursue riches and power - and those who seek to return the son of the deposed king to the throne. Desperately navigating a labyrinth of politicians, crime lords, assassins, and spies, Weaver learns that, in an election year, little is what it seems and the truth comes at a staggeringly high cost.
