Adventure! Intrigue! Thievery!
Young Timothy Delvan, an ordinary, modern American thirteen-year-old, finds himself thrust into extraordinary circumstances when he follows a stranger smelling of gin and shoe polish through a very singular door in London.
Therein lies a world in which robbery is just another institution, London is governed by a megalomaniacal Lord Mayor, and America exists only as a prison colony. Robbers, policemen, and Irishmen vie for power as Timothy struggles to decide who is a friend and who would just as soon see him dancing the Tyburn jig.
Will Timothy ever find his way home?
Will he ever discover the fate of his long-lost Aunt Diana?
Will he ever learn to subsist on a diet of eel pie and pickled oysters?
Read THE ROBBER'S BOY to find out!
