Book Condition & Notes
Very good first edition, with slight bruising to spine. In a very good unclipped dust jacket with bruising to the edges and corners, and a small section along the top edge of back cover where the image is beginning to peel from the paper of the jacket.
About the book
London,1837. Jack Maggs, raised and deported as a criminal, has returned from Australia, in secret and at great risk. What does he want after all these years, and why is he so interested in the comings and goings at a plush townhouse in Great Queen Street? And why is Jack himself an object of such interest to Tobias Oates, celebrated author, amateur hypnotist and fellow burglar - in this case of people's minds, of their histories and inner phantoms? A thrilling story of mesmerism and possession, of dangerous bargains and illicit love against the backdrop of Victorian London.
