'As powerful and addictive as the first outing of Siòn Scott-Wilson's personable Regency graverobbers, What We Leave Behind leads its reader through a beautifully-realised and immersive world of stark necessities amid exquisite squalor, conjuring its Dandy-Horses, resurrection-men and
its rich, steaming London in a persuasively authentic eighteenth-century voice. This is the most pungent and rewarding thriller I expect to read this year - a sordid and electrifying triumph'
-ALAN MOORE
A gripping tale of redemption and the power of love set against the backdrop of a historical crime-ridden London...
In this highly-anticipated sequel to Some Rise By Sin, Sammy and Facey are pulled back into the gritty world of London's criminal underworld. This time, the stakes are higher than ever as the fate of Sammy's young adopted son hangs in the balance. Coerced into the hunt for a notorious gemstone, Sammy and Facey are torn between their moral code and their desperate desire to save the boy.
As they navigate the dangerous streets of London, they are forced to confront the weight of their actions and the legacies they will leave behind. Will they make the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of the stolen child-and can they rise above the sins of their past?
