A DASTARDLY HOAX!

NEW YORK, February 1880—It began quietly enough, with a mutton-chopped Acme Safe Company salesman knocking on the door of Reverend Morgan Dix, the starchiest clergyman in Manhattan's most respectable church. The salesman was surely misdirected, Reverend Dix explained—he had no need for a safe, and he had not made an appointment.

A fascinating tale of detection and revenge. The Rector and the Rogue uncovers for the first time the trail of celebrated Victorian trickster "Gentleman Joe"—the mysterious con-man whose innumerable identities, wild fabrications, baffling motives, and international trail of chaos would lead to one of the most bizarre criminal cases of the 19th century.
