Stand and Deliver

The critically acclaimed, internationally bestselling Declan Walsh series continues...

"Stand and deliver, your money or your life..."

Two years ago, a series of daring highway robberies terrorised London's financial elite. Now, When Treasury Minister Adrian Carmody is held up by a masked highwayman on a black motorcycle--the start of several such robberies, torn from the story books--history is repeating itself; but this time, there's a body count.

As city traders tremble and political secrets emerge, DCI Declan Walsh and his team realise this is more than simple theft; the briefcase stolen that night holds secrets that could shake the London Stock Exchange to its core, and, as more figures emerge from the shadows-each wearing the mask and tricorn of Dick Turpin-Walsh must unravel a web of deception spanning city traders, stunt riders, and political insiders, as a killer stalks London's streets in eighteenth-century disguise.

In the City of London's shadowy world of financial secrets and political intrigue, Walsh must separate truth from performance before the next victim falls. But in a case where everyone is playing a role, the most dangerous lies are hidden behind the most theatrical disguises.

Sometimes legends don't just come back to life. Sometimes they come back to kill.
