The Artful Dodger faces his most dangerous adventure yet as he leaves Dickensian London and finds himself manning the barricades in defence of liberty, fraternity and larceny in the 1848 Paris uprising.
For Dodger, life as a criminal kingpin is losing its allure. Leading a gang of petty thieves from the Seven Dials is not as easy as Fagin made it look and after a year in charge Jack Dawkins has been reduced to a shadow of the man who used to be the envy of every pickpocket in London. Opium-addicted and heavy-fingered, Dodger is fast becoming a laughing stock on his own patch until a chance encounter leads him to Paris and a job like nothing he's had before.
In a city alive with rebellion, Dodger must avoid assassins, jilted lovers and revolutionaries, and rediscover his touch if he is to lift his most precious treasure yet.
The third in the James Benmore's acclaimed series continuing the story of the Artful Dodger, this book confirms Jack Dawkins as one of the great fiction characters.

'Dodger of the Dials blows its predecessor away. Highly recommended'―Parmenion Books
Tremendous fun - with an underlying theme which is deadly serious―Crime Review
Don't worry if you haven't read the first, or even Oliver Twist, this is stand-alone fun and action. For a really entertaining read go no further'―We Love This Book
Dodger is back! And oh, how I've missed him! The book is a gripping, fast-paced adventure with memorable moments, both light and dark. The characters are wonderfully written and have depth and personality which make the reader care deeply about what happens to them. Dodger of the Dials is a real treat. To Benmore, I make this humble request: Please sir, I want some more―Bookbag
'A terrific read; I thoroughly recommend it'―The Historical Novel Society
