Synopsis:

'I felt utterly deceived. My father had cheated me just as he had cheated Mr Diamond. My father, that stern and upright man...was nothing but a swindler and a thief!' Young William Jones discovers that his dying father is a swindler. When he sets out for London to right the wrongs his father has done to his old partner, Diamond, he finds the backstreets less than welcoming and all kinds of horrors lying in wait... This marvellous mystery story, by the author of Smith and Black Jack, was given the Whitbread Award for the best children's book.

Review: "A brilliant, witty and gripping adventure" (Times Educational Supplement)

"It is a fine thing that Leon Garfield's rip-roaring and funny tales should be brought back into circulation for a new generation of readers" (Joan Aiken)
