商品描述内容简介In the 15th century Low Countries, a civil war rages that is anything but civil between the merchant class (the Cods) and the nobles (the Hooks).This will bring into conflict noble and merchant, land-owner and land-worker, father and son, and, unbeknownst to all but a select few, human and monster. Against this backdrop, Edgar, conman, charlatan and escape artist, plus Edgar's mentor and partner, determine that the great St Elizabeth Flood is the perfect opportunity to impersonate a non-existent distant relative so they might become aristocrats and inherit all that remains. All they need is a very good swimmer. The story is fabulously bizarre and vividly real - while also being clever and a bit revolting with some great comic moments.媒体推荐Praise for Jesse Bullington novels:

"Darkly funny, profane, erudite, bawdy, and wickedly original...the debut of an amazing new talent." (Jeff VanderMeer onThe Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart)
"Striking and often funny..." (Publishers WeeklyonThe Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart)
