  The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series continues... 
   
  "Stand and deliver, your money or your life..." 
   
  Two years ago, a series of daring highway robberies terrorised London's financial elite. Now, When Treasury Minister Adrian Carmody is held up by a masked highwayman on a black motorcycle--the start of several such robberies, torn from the story books--history is repeating itself; but this time, there's a body count. 
   
  As city traders tremble and political secrets emerge, DCI Declan Walsh and his team realise this is more than simple theft; the briefcase stolen that night holds secrets that could shake the London Stock Exchange to its core, and, as more figures emerge from the shadows—each wearing the mask and tricorn of Dick Turpin—Walsh must unravel a web of deception spanning city traders, stunt riders, and political insiders, as a killer stalks London's streets in eighteenth-century disguise. 
   
  In the City of London's shadowy world of financial secrets and political intrigue, Walsh must separate truth from performance before the next victim falls. But in a case where everyone is playing a role, the most dangerous lies are hidden behind the most theatrical disguises. 
   
  Sometimes legends don't just come back to life. Sometimes they come back to kill.

  An engineer, Victor Hatherley, attends Dr Watson's surgery after his thumb is chopped off, and recounts his tale to Watson and Holmes. Hatherley had been hired for 50 guineas to repair a machine he was told compressed Fuller's earth into bricks. Hatherley was told to keep the job confidential, and was transported to the job in a carriage with frosted glass, to keep the location secret. He was shown the press, but on closer inspection discovered a "crust of metallic deposit" on the press, and he suspected it was not being used for compressing earth. He confronted his employer, who attacked him, and during his escape his thumb is chopped off. Holmes deduces that the press is being used to produce counterfeit coins, and works out its location. However, when they arrive, the house is on fire, and the criminals have escaped.
