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.\n\nPraise for A Spectacle of Corruption\n\n“[A] rousing sequel of historical, intellectual suspense. ”—San Antonio Express-News\n\n“Liss is a superb writer who evokes the squalor of London with Hogarthian gusto.”—People\n\n“In Benjamin Weaver, Mr. Liss has created a multifaceted character and a wonderful narrator.”—The New York Sun\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 037576089X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.037576089X.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Liss, David\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
