Synopsis
Jack Swann is, on the surface, a typical gentleman of the Regency period; educated, literate and well-heeled. In his early thirties, he is single and attractive, with all the resources needed to live a privileged life. Haunted by the murder of his father fifteen years before - the perpetrators of which having never been caught - Swann has, however, turned his back on this world and chosen instead to fight crimes as 'The Regency Detective', unofficially connected with the Bow Street Runners. Arriving in Bath for the funeral of his mother, Swann finds several reasons for staying in the city; to protect Mary, his sister, from that charming but unscrupulous Lockhart; to find the 'Scarred Man' who might lead him to his father's killer; and to end the reign of terror by Wicks, the local criminal boss who sets out to have Swann assassinated.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
