Montmorency, the man who leads a double life as both a criminal and a gentleman, is back for his most thrilling adventure yet in the final installment of the Montmorency trilogy.
As the nineteenth century draws to a close, war is in the air, and influenza is sweeping the globe. After twenty years as a gentleman, Montmorency is glad to be free of Scarper, his wretched alter-ego. However, when Montmorency's young friend Frank finds himself caught in the middle of a murderous political plot, Montmorency may have no choice but to call upon none other than Scarper for help.
Follow Montmorency, Fox-Selwyn, Dr. Farcett, and a whole new generation of characters on their travels from London to Scotland, Italy and America.

Updale adroitly works the tradition of devilish schemes and narrow escapes, and the plot moves as nimbly as the master thief himself.”

((star)) STARRED REVIEW
In true Shakespearean form, [Montmorency and Scarper] dive in and out of scenes with astute deftness, duping less fortunate (and sometimes deserving) characters with hilarious aplomb . Readers will find themselves drawn not only to Montmorency’s compellingly bizarre biography, but also to his clever and mischievous nature .”

Praise for Montmorency on the Rocks
[Montmorency on the Rocks] delivers plenty of mystery and intrigue through a compellingly flawed character, an adult searching as desperately for a sense of self as any adolescent protagonist. That search creates a literary journey filled with unpredictable events, a fast-moving plot, and a fascinating visit to the Victorian era.”

Praise for Montmorency and the Assassins
Updale’s antihero may have aged , but the author keeps the series vital by grafting on two engaging younger characters and judiciously-and craftily-pruning two older ones , thereby sending one survivor into the next entry with a burden of guilt and imbuing the entire cast with a raging desire for revenge. Bring on the sequel, and hurry. Bulleti
