Description

Benjamin Weaver, a Jew and an ex-boxer, is definitely an outsider in eighteenth-century London, investigating debtors and felons for aristocratic clients. The child of a wealthy stock trader, he lives estranged from his family—until he's asked to research his father’s unexpected demise. Hence Weaver descends in to the world of the British stock jobbers, sliding between gambling houses and coffee houses, attracting bordellos and areas. The more Weaver reveals, the deeper until he understands that he's following too closely in his father’s, the reality becomes footsteps—and they only may cause him to their own plot.
