What We Leave Behind

Messrs. Samuel and Facey return in their second adventure which finds the former “resurrection men” living in Portsmouth. But when Sammy’s adopted son, John, is kidnapped and taken to London, they return to the crime-infested capital together with Sammy’s wife, Rosamund. John’s ransom is the magnificent “Eye of Brahma” black diamond. Nothing and no-one can be trusted as Sammy, Facey, and Rosamund get caught up in one greedy conspiracy after another. WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND is a rollicking riot of a read through Regency London in the company of a wonderfully entertaining troop of characters. Author Siôn Scott-Wilson has produced a deliciously authentic and accomplished novel full of wicked insight and ingenious plot twists that, although a sequel, effortlessly stands alone.
