A hearty thank you to Sean Gibson for sharing this captivating prequel to The Camelot Shadow...I enjoyed it immensely. Upton is a most comical, witty rake of a bookseller. In this case, William Upton, rare book seller, manages to find himself dealing in covert, dangerous stuff.

Baron Harold Frederickson is an intriguing recluse of a character, well drawn as both creepy and somehow appealing. He is a curiosity that the reader looks forward to learning more about. This is exceedingly well-done.

Gibson's writing style is smart, funny, and charming and I would recommend this to anyone. Hopefully, one does not need to borrow a hooded lantern and prowl around in the dark to unearth a copy.
