Ambientada en el Londres del siglo XVIII, esta vibrante novela sigue las aventuras de Benjamín Weaver, un judío portugués, ex boxeador y experto en disfraces que se dedica a la caza de criminales. Tras ser injustamente condenado a muerte por un asesinato que no cometió, Weaver debe escapar de la terrible prisión de Newgate y recorrer las peligrosas calles de la capital británica para descubrir quién lo incriminó. Escrita por David Liss, la obra es una mezcla exuberante de acción, humor y suspense, donde el protagonista se ve envuelto en una compleja red de conspiración que alcanza a las figuras más poderosas del Imperio Británico. Una narrativa histórica fascinante que combina el misterio con la atmósfera cruda de la época.
David Liss is an American writer of novels, essays and short fiction; more recently working also in comic books. He was born in New Jersey and grew up in South Florida. Liss received his BA degree from Syracuse University, an MA from Georgia State University and his M. Phil from Columbia University. He left his post-graduate studies of 18th Century British literature and unfinished dissertation to write full-time. "If things had not worked out with fiction, I probably would have kept to my graduate school career track and sought a job as a literature professor," he said. A full-time writer since 2010, Liss lives in San Antonio, Texas, with his wife and children.
