Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Golden Guineas, Golden Guineas, London Full of Gold is Mary's lullaby. In the year 1716 she seizes her destiny and flees Dublin to seek her fortune. But it's all in the pockets of the rich. Mary decides her nimble fingers are better employed than sewing shirts for a shilling a piece. She uses her skills to great success and becomes the most celebrated of thieves known throughout the underworld as Jenny Diver. The Regulator, however, sees her as a threat to his criminal empire. There's only two ways to deal with rivals. Make them partners or crush them without mercy. Jenny takes up the challenge. London cannot serve two masters. Stakes are high. The hangman holds the prize for losers. Friends, lovers, foes alike, they fight and fear together in the Shadow of the Fatal Tree.
Many mistakes, few regrets, lessons learned and forgotten. Four men lie dead in a Bangkok morgue. Mike Dean doesn't feel it is his fault in spite of what others might think.

Mike Dean has the means to put them away. That's how his latest problem begins. September is the month good things used to happen. This is Another September.
Sex, drugs, rock and roll; Featherstone does it all. And all leads to one thing: Trouble. As the swinging sixties dawns, Featherstone sets out in search of his 'first time'. That is no easy task in the days when most girls kept their legs together during passionate embarrasses. He doesn't really know what to do when allowed onto third base anyway. It takes an older woman to teach him what's what. Art College is a liberating experience. Featherstone discovers the joys and perils of loose women. And free love that comes at a price. Events sweep him away into a dangerous world of sleaze and easy money where he rubs shoulders with criminals and ignores the rules. Running away isn't the answer, as he finds out when he arrives in Amsterdam. He has something sex goddess, Velma Ventura, craves. His reluctance to supply could cost him his life. Groupies, cannabis and money are a dodgy mix. Featherstone discovers this as lead singer in a rock band. Mayhem and murder pursue him to an uncertain future. Featherstone Rogue Tales take you back to a time, not so very long ago, when life was easier for all, fun for most, and lucky for some. His antics will shock, excite, amuse, and may disgust, but hey, who wants to die old?
