The Traitors' Gate
by AviJohn Huffam is sure the tall man's beard is false. He's sure of little else in November 1849, the year he is fourteen, the year his father is sentenced to London's Whitecross Street Prison. Pa isn't prepared to reveal the truth, any more than the jovial bailiff, Mr. Tuckum, who knows something but remains mum. Or the little Frenchman, Mr. Farquatt, who courts John's sister but seems most keen on Pa's work at the Naval Ordinance Office. Or Mr. O'Doul, the Irishman who insists Pa owes him the unimaginable sum of three hundred pounds. Or what of the one-legged, single-mindedly fierce Sergeant Muldspoon, John's teacher? What about the boy's great-great-aunt, Lady Euphemia Huffam, who could pay the debt but won't for reasons of her own? What about the secretive Mr. Snugsbe of All Hallows Church, who hides himself away in the City's most voluminous coat? Then there's Chief Inspector Ratchet of Scotland Yard, who is after somebody for some crime or other. True, John has a new friend and ally in young Sary the Sneak... but what has even she got up her sleeve? What John learns on his own is that there's a traitor on the loose, somewhere. And he must uncover the villain--no matter who it might be. With the lives and well being of his family at stake, not knowing who he can trust, John is a boy among dangerous, devious and confusing adults. He must quickly learn to stand up to them and look beneath the surface for the truth. Avi has written this historical novel in the style of Charles Dickens including using the dialect of London's poor and uneducated citizens and the style of speech common in England in 1849.
