A Spectacle of Corruption

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Benjamin Weaver, the quick-witted pugilist turned private investigator, returns in David Liss’s sequel to the Edgar Award–winning novel, A Conspiracy of Paper. “[A] wonderful book . . . every bit as good as [Liss’s] remarkable debut . . . easily one of the year’s best.”—The Boston Globe 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 wants him 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: to prove himself innocent when the corrupt courts have shown they care nothing for justice. Unable to show his face in public, Weaver pursues his inquiry disguised as a wealthy merchant seeking to involve himself in the contentious world of politics. Desperately navigating a labyrinth of schemers, 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. Praise for A Spectacle of Corruption “[A] rousing sequel of historical, intellectual suspense. ”—San Antonio Express-News “Liss is a superb writer who evokes the squalor of London with Hogarthian gusto.”—People “In Benjamin Weaver, Mr. Liss has created a multifaceted character and a wonderful narrator.”—The New York Sun

Book Description
Every villain has his weakness. She is mine. It takes a lot more than getting shot in the head to kill a guy like me, but the bastards got me good. I’ll give it to them. They got me so good that when I finally wake up, I realize I’ve been in a coma for weeks. Not days. Weeks. And the weird thing is, I can’t remember a single thing about that day. Not who saved me, not hearing the EMTs arrive. Nothing. But I do remember who I am. I just pretend not to. Trust me, it’s safer that way. Safer for me, for the people involved in this, and the strange woman sitting next to my bed when I wake up. Sadie is the one who found me in the forest. She’s the one who called 911. And as I soon find out, she’s the only person who has been visiting me for weeks. I might not like owing people favors, but even I have to admit that I owe her my life. If all she needs in return is a fake boyfriend, then that’s exactly what I’ll be. I just have to keep reminding myself that this is an act. For both our sakes...
