Five years after giving up his life of crime
in the sewers Montmorency is back in London . But his
evil alter ego, Scarper, is back too, pulling him into
a dark world of addiction. His old friend and fellow

falling back into his old ways?

Montmorency (new edition)
When a petty thief falls though a glass roof trying to
escape the police what should have been the death of him
marks the beginning of a whole new life. For he is chosen
as a medical guinea pig for the Royal Society, where he
comes into some very interesting information - a map of
Sir Joseph Bazalgette's new sewage system.
Memorising the system and adopting the affections
of the rich young gentlemen of the Society, the thief
uses his knowledge to become the most elusive burglar
in Victorian London. From now on, he will have two identities:
Scarper - servant and sewer-rat, robbing jewels and
making his escape by the underground labyrinth that
lies beneath London - and Montmorency - fashionable,
wealthy gentleman.
But Montmorency's new existence is fraught
with danger - can he pull off the transformation and
keep his secret safe...?
Montmorency is a fantastic debut novel from
Eleanor Updale. Eleanor studied history at Oxford and
then worked at the BBC as a producer of current affairs
programmes, including Newsnight and A Week in Westminster
for 15 years. This is her first novel.
