Mysteriously convicted for a murder he didn't commit by a judge determined to see him hang, he is suddenly - and equally mysteriously - offered the means to escape. What, you may well ask, is going on It's a question Weaver asks of himself as he slinks out into the London night on a mission to clear his name. In doing so, he steps straight into a labyrinthine plot that weaves, like Benjamin, across eighteenth century London. For the conspiracy against him is part of a grimmer and gaudier picture: one that encompasses double-dealings and dockworkers, the extorting of a priest - and a looming election with the potential to spark a revolution and topple the monarchy.Handily, Weaver is a private investigator. He's also an ex-pugilist, which is also a good thing when it comes to punching his weight in the 'polite' society of plotters and politicians, power-brokers, crime lords, assassins and spies.  At the apex of which sits, rather precariously, a recent import from Hanover: The King.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47901043196062,"sku":"ING-9780349118314","price":42.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780349118314.jpg?v=1782352321","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780349118314","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
