London, 1754. The war has not started yet. The spying already has.
The Thames gives up its dead on its own schedule. This one surfaces on a Thursday, three days gone: a gentleman of the Navy Board, well dressed, well connected, his pockets turned out and his skull broken in a place no falling man's skull breaks. The coroner's jury sits an afternoon, returns a verdict of misadventure, and the river closes over the business like water over a stone.
Lieutenant Peregrine Thornton, a week home from three years in the Caribbean, is the only man in London who will not let it go. The dead man had known him since he was twelve. And the details will not lie down. Not one of them is impossible on its own. All of them together are.
What he finds, pulling gently at that thread, is not a murder. It is an appetite.
Something has been feeding on the Navy for years. The secrets go out quietly, one at a time, and nothing ever seems to happen — no scandal, no arrest, no sign at all except an enemy that grows a little stronger each season while London congratulates itself on the peace. Nobody has noticed. Nobody is meant to.
So Perry builds a trap of his own. It needs a lie big enough to be believed, an admiral willing to stake what remains of his name, and one man standing out in the open where the enemy can see him.
The trap will work. That was never the danger.
The danger is who walks into it. The men on the other side are not thieves after papers. They are professionals, and they are not stealing secrets so much as arranging them — setting the pieces for a war that will be fought on five continents and every ocean, and that no one in London has thought to name yet.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
