Book Six of The Londum Series. In between rescuing a young girl from child slavery and saving a street full of tenants from an unscrupulous landlord, Jim Darby is planning one of the biggest heists of his career, when an old flame re-enters his life. Racine Deveaux seeks Jim's help to bring down her travelling companion, Vincent Lassiter. Reluctant at first to help, Jim is finally persuaded to involve Lassiter in a scam to force him into a position where Racine can be revenged upon him. Seems simple, doesn't it? However, Jim has to contend with Lassiter's man, Bolan, an ex-street fighter, who may be more than a match for Jim. Also there's as a new addition to Jim's list of annoyances, Inspector Herbert Corner of Caledonia Yard, who seems intent on finding out Jim's secrets. Oh well, it's just another day at the office for Jim. Including Bonus Story - A Londum Yuletide
From an Alternate Victorian England called Albion, three spooky, short stories set during the Yuletide season, woven together into one narrative, A Londum Yuletide, to prove that 'There are more things in Heaven and Earth, than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio Hornblower!'
