He's also struggling to bury his past as a cripple and shed his financial ties to his benevolent \"Uncle\" Ebenezer by losing himself in the thick of London's underbelly. He boards at a brothel in exchange for teaching the mistress how to read and spends his nights dredging the Thames for dead bodies and the treasures in their pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimothy's life takes a sharp turn when he discovers the bodies of two dead girls, each seared with the same cruel brand on the upper arm. The sight of their horror-struck faces compels Timothy to become the protector of another young girl, the enigmatic Philomela. Spurred on by the unwavering enthusiasm of a street-smart, fast-talking homeless boy who calls himself Colin the Melodious, Timothy soon finds that he's on the trail of something far worse -- and far more dangerous -- than an ordinary killer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis breathless flight through the teeming markets, shadowy passageways, and rolling brown fog of 1860s London is wrought with remarkable depth and intelligence, complete with surprising twists and extraordinary heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118960001264,"sku":"9780061854187","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780061854187_p0.jpg?v=1769890116","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780061854187","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
