  The name of Dunstan Vardis had become almost legendary in the underworld since his escape from prison five years ago. In some secret and mysterious way he had developed a sure-fire method of hiding wanted criminals. Every killer in the underworld came to Dunstan Vardis for protection. 
  “Just a minute, Mr. Klaw!” a photographer begged. “Stand still for a second, will you?” 
  The man raised a bulky camera to his eye and sighted through the periscope. He had his finger on the lever to click it down. Before he could do so, Stephen Klaw took his right hand from his pocket. There was an automatic in it. Without wasting a fraction of an inch of motion, Klaw fired from the hip. 
  The shot echoed and re-echoed like thunder in the vaulted train-shed. The slug smashed square into the camera, driving through the box and embedding itself in the photographer’s skull.

The beggar is arrested, but a few days later St. Clair's wife receives a letter from her husband.

  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.
