Lavish wealth and appalling poverty live side by side in Victorian London - and Edward Pierce easily navigates both worlds. Rich, handsome and ingenious, he charms the city's most prominent citizens even as he plots the crime of his century- the daring theft of a fortune in gold.

In this book, Micheal Crichton has turned his talent for suspense in a different direction, with excellent results.
