Description du livre
London, 1863
A gentleman. A pickpocket. An unlikely alliance.
When a chance encounter brings together two men from opposite worlds, mistrust and resentment run deep. Lloyd Webster, the privileged son of a baronet, is an idealist who values his reputation. Ezra Taylor, a streetwise pickpocket, knows only how to fight for his survival. But when they are falsely accused of a crime, the two must learn to rely on one another in ways neither could have imagined.
Their search for the truth uncovers a scandal that threatens to shake the very foundations of Victorian society.
With danger looming, they not only have to overcome their differences but also confront their pasts - and secrets they would rather keep hidden.
Set in the shadowy streets and gaslit parlours of 19th century London, Death of a Victorian Gentleman is a gripping tale of mystery, courage, and a friendship that defies the conventions of its time.
