The judge that passed the death sentence is determined to see Weaver hang and it appears that he is the one responsible for wrongly framing Weaver in the case. However, things take a shocking turn when the same judge offers Weaver a way to escape. Weaver asks himself with a lot of surprise what is going on in his life. He roams about the London streets during nights to get his name cleared. Later, Weaver lands into an entangled web.

Weaver gets blackmailed into robbing some important documents from the heavily guarded East India Company of England. However, the theft appears to the initial move in a large corporate conspiracy within the immensely powerful corporation of eighteenth century England. Now, in order to save his family and friends from the reach of Jerome Cobb, Weaver is required to infiltrate the guarded corporation, navigate the warring factions, and unravel a secret plot involving foreign spies, government operatives, and corporate rivals. As the nation’s security and millions of pounds fall at stake, Weaver finds himself stuck between hidden agendas, unexpected allies, and daring enemies. The novel is filled with scrupulous period research and explosive action, that are the trademarks of the author Liss. It depicts the formation of a modern corporation in the middle of a historical suspense that puts the lives of men and security of the country at a great risk. The description of Weaver’s wit and intelligence is done by author Liss in an excellent way. It takes the story forward and keeps the readers intrigued until the last page.
