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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eA Spectacle of Corruption\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[A] rousing sequel of historical, intellectual suspense. ”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eSan Antonio Express-News\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Liss is a superb writer who evokes the squalor of London with Hogarthian gusto.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003ePeople \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In Benjamin Weaver, Mr. Liss has created a multifaceted character and a wonderful narrator.”\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eThe New York Sun\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDAVID LISS\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003cb\u003eThe Coffee Trader \u003c\/b\u003eand\u003cb\u003e A Conspiracy of Paper\u003c\/b\u003e, winner of the 2000 Edgar Award for Best First Novel.
