1898: What looks like an easy job turns into a life-threatening nightmare as Montmorency and his friends pursue anarchists across Europe to the USA. Science, medicine and opera are entangled in his fight to save lives. But no one is safe in Montmorency's world. “A thumping good story told with consummate skill. There's pace, action, excitement and humour, with characters you really care about.” Philip Ardagh, The Guardian This is the third book in the Montmorency series.

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
