The Devil's Company (original) (raw)

The Devil's Company is a historical-mystery-thriller novel by David Liss, set in 18th century London. It is the third of three novels containing the memoir of the fictional Benjamin Weaver, a retired bare-knuckle boxer, now a "thief-taker" (a cross between a modern private investigator and bounty hunter). Weaver's "memoir" began with Liss' first novel, A Conspiracy of Paper (2000), and continued in A Spectacle of Corruption (2004).
