Publisher's Note
Benjamin Weaver, a Jew and an ex-boxer, is an outsider in eighteenth-century London, tracking down debtors and felons for aristocratic clients. The son of a wealthy stock trader, he lives estranged from his family—until he is asked to investigate his father’s sudden death. Thus Weaver descends into the deceptive world of the English stock jobbers, gliding between coffee houses and gaming houses, drawing rooms and bordellos. The more Weaver uncovers, the darker the truth becomes, until he realizes that he is following too closely in his father’s footsteps—and they just might lead him to his own grave. An enthralling historical thriller, A Conspiracy of Paper will leave readers wondering just how much has changed in the stock market in the last three hundred years. . . .

Industry Reviews
"[A CONSPIRACY OF PAPER is an] engaging and multifaceted first novel....That [Liss] succeeds in making comprehensible a historical period that seems to have been built on obfuscation is remarkable. That the period was similar to our own may be a warning as well."
Polk

"[A] winning first novel that uses 18th century London as the backdrop for a story of murderous intrigue. Liss proves a well-equipped guide for the period.... Though Liss deserves ample praise for his first literary effort..., CONSPIRACY comes up a little short in holding the reader's attention throughout, and fails to deliver the emotional punch that made THE ALIENIST and its sequel, THE ANGEL OF DARKNESS, so effective. Despite the author's best efforts, stock-jobbing simply lacks the same impact as serial killing. But Liss succeeds admirably in bringing to life the novel's historical era...."
Lazarus

"You might relish A CONSPIRACY OF PAPER merely for author David Liss' brilliant and occasionally brutal evocation of early-18th-century London. But there is so much more to appreciate in this adventure, from its inspired detective figure, former pugilist Benjamin Weaver, to the way it introduces readers into the Byzantine world of finance and investments, to the manner in which Liss' prose consciously but comfortably echoes that of the time about which he writes."
