David Liss - Böcker

Amsterdam in the 1690s - a boom town with Europe's biggest stock exchange and traders who will stop at nothing to get even richer. Lienzo, a Portugese Jew, stumbles across a new commodity - coffee - which, if he plays his cards right, will make him the richest man in Holland. But others stand in his way - rival traders who do all in their power to confuse the exchange and scupper his plans, his brother who is jealous of his financial wizardry and even his brother's beautiful wife who both tempts and spurns him in equal measure.

Benjamin Weaver is awaiting death in Newgate gaol. Mysteriously convicted for a murder he didn't commit by a judge determined to see him hang, he is suddenly - and equally mysteriously - offered the means to escape. What, you may well ask, is going on?It's a question Weaver asks of himself as he slinks out into the London night on a mission to clear his name. In doing so, he steps straight into a labyrinthine plot that weaves, like Benjamin, across eighteenth century London. For the conspiracy against him is part of a grimmer and gaudier picture: one that encompasses double-dealings and dockworkers, the extorting of a priest - and a looming election with the potential to spark a revolution and topple the monarchy.Handily, Weaver is a private investigator. He's also an ex-pugilist, which is also a good thing when it comes to punching his weight in the 'polite' society of plotters and politicians, power-brokers, crime lords, assassins and spies. At the apex of which sits, rather precariously, a recent import from Hanover: The King.

It's the shockingbeginning to a new era for the Shadow!David Liss Writer Commentary: "The Shadow is, without doubt, one of thecoolest pulp characters of all time, so I was thrilled to get a chance to addsomething to the legend. While we are working within the long and storiedtradition of Shadow adventures, I think we're also doing something original withthis character, and that's always a great combination. (Colton Worley's) art isstunning, and a perfect fit for our neo-pulp tone. This story is dark and moody,which I think a Shadow story should be, but I think we're also portraying a veryhuman and fallible version of the man behind the mask. Fans who have followedThe Shadow in comics over the years are going to be very interested to see howwe run with what's come before this."
