![]() ![]() Adam Foole is a gentleman without a past, haunted by a love affair ten years gone. His father died without ever tracing Shade William, still reeling from his loss, is determined to drag the thief out of the shadows. William Pinkerton is already famous, the son of a brutal detective, when he descends into the underworld of Victorian London in pursuit of a new lead. In a city of fog and darkness, the notorious thief Edward Shade exists only as a ghost, a fabled con, a thief of other men's futures - a man of smoke. A magnificent literary historical-suspense novel in the tradition of Eleanor Catton's The Luminaries, Patrick DeWitt's The Sisters Brothers, and Michael Faber's The Crimson Petal and the White, By Gaslightis destined to be one of the most acclaimed and talked-about books of the year. ![]()
