In the fog-choked alleys of Victorian London, a mysterious ledger—the Book of Scoundrels—passes from hand to hand, recording confessions of thieves, forgers, and charming liars. When struggling writer Thomas Quill inherits the volume, he discovers that every entry is true, and every scoundrel still lives, bound by a pact inked into its pages. To erase a debt of his own, Thomas must hunt down the book's authors before the final blank page fills with his name. A sweeping tale of wit, betrayal, and uneasy redemption, A Book of Scoundrels asks a timeless question: who is more dangerous—the criminal, or the man who writes him down?
