From the Back Cover

Dodger is a tosher – a sewer scavenger

living in the squalor of Dickensian London.

Everyone who is nobody knows him.

Anyone who is anybody doesn’t.

He used to know his future; it involved a lot of

brick-lined tunnels and plenty of filth.

But when he rescues a young girl from a beating

things start to get really messy.

Now everyone who is anyone

wants to get their hands on Dodger.
