The Nestlé Smarties Book Prize Silver award winner
The rich of Victorian London are falling prey, night after night, to a clever and cunning thief. No one sees him arrive, no one sees him leave...
A new guest has checked in to the Marimion hotel. He's tall and handsome, beautifully spoken and perfectly turned out - just the kind of classy visitor the hotel manager loves. Perhaps he'd change his mind if he could see the scars hidden by the fancy clothes or looked a bit closer at the gentleman's faithful but sinister servant, Scarper. Who is Montmorency? How do a terrible accident, prison sentence, an ambitious young doctor and a map of the city's sewers sustain his identity? And for how long...?
MONTMORENCY is the first gripping tale featuring Eleanor Updale's clever anti-hero. Always intriguing and compelling, his adventures are impossible to put down.
