'My father, that stern and upright man, was nothing but a swindler
and a thief!' What is the matter with old Mr Jones? Endless
footsteps and low groans can be heard from his room in the dead of
night. Only his son William knows the a terrible secret: his father
betrayed his business partner Mr Diamond, and swindled him out of a
great fortune. William resolves to go to London, find Mr Diamond
and make amends. But the murky big city, with its sinister
characters and treacherous back streets, is no place for a boy of
twelve. And Mr Diamond's own son is not the sort of person to
forgive and forget. Danger and deceit lie waiting... Includes
exclusive material: In the Backstory you can find out more about
the wonderful author and learn some Cockney rhyming slang! Vintage
