Product Information
John Huffam is sure the tall man's beard is false. He's sure of little else inNovember 1849, the year he is fourteen, the year his father is sentenced toLondon's Whitecross Street Prison. Maybe the man following John -- who claims to be one Inspector Copperfield --can explain why. Surely, Pa isn't prepared to reveal the truth, any more thanthe jovial bailiff, Mr. Tuckum, who knows something, but remains mum. Or thelittle Frenchman, Mr. Farquatt, who courts John's sister but seems most keen onPa's work at the Naval Ordinance Office. Or Mr. O'Doul, the Irishman whoinsists Pa owes him the unimaginable sum of three hundred pounds. Or what of the one-legged, single-mindedly fierce Sergeant Muldspoon, John'steacher? What about the boy's great-great-aunt, Lady Euphemia Huffam, who couldpay the debt but won't for reasons of her own? What about the secretive Mr.Snugsbe of All Hallows Church, who hides himself away in the City's mostvoluminous coat? Then there's Chief Inspector Ratchet of Scotland Yard, who is after somebodyfor some crime or other. True, John has a new friend and ally in Sary theSneak...but what has even she got up her sleeve? What John learns on his own isthat there's a traitor on the loose, somewhere. And he must uncover thevillain -- no matter who it might be.Product Identifiers
