Pickpocket and thief in Georgian London, Pascal Bonenfant just wants to get on with his life, court Rose, the woman he loves, and escape the clutches of crime lord Jonathan Wild. It doesn’t seem too much to ask.

But his best friend Todd succumbs to promises of eternal life at the small cost of bartering his soul to loathsome entities from outside reality. Pascal is torn.

Can he save his friend? Failing that, can he escape with Rose, their lives and sanity intact?

As Jonathan Wild dies, and dies again, the chances look very poor indeed.

Set in the criminal underworld of the early 18th century, The Unfortunate Deaths of Jonathan Wild is a classic tale of the forces of evil reluctantly opposed by the morally ambiguous.
