His novels include The Dante Club, The Poe Shadow, The Last Dickens, The Technologists, and The Last Bookaneer. This book follows late 19th century British "bookaneers"--notorious characters of the book trade who are interested in securing-or-stealing contemporary British authors' new book manuscripts to publish them without paying royalties, Such quests lead them to Robert Louis Stevenson's home Vailima on distant Samoa, where politics and rivalries create consternation. Solid, tight, bright First Edition/First Printing in a clean & bright dust jacket (unclipped) with wear to its corners.
