About this book
The story
This dark tale features a strong and sympathetic hero as well as equally appealing supporting characters ... Likely to draw in readers of Andrea Penrose, Charles Finch, and Anne Perry Library Journal Introducing thief-taker Simon Westow in the first in a new historical mystery series set in Regency Leeds.
Leeds, 1820. Thief-taker Simon Westow knows all about lost property.
A boy from the workhouse, he now has a comfortable business finding and returning his clients' stolen possessions. But when John Milner, a successful Leeds businessman, seeks out Simon's services to find his kidnapped daughter, Hannah, it's clear he faces a challenge like no other.
Accompanied by his enigmatic and capable young assistant, Jane, Simon takes to the dark, shadowy streets of Leeds for information - streets he knows like the back of his hand.
But his enquiries lead Simon and Jane into great danger.
Could the answers lie in Simon's own past, and an old enemy seeking revenge?
