From an award-winning author, Fingersmith is an extraordinary, ingenious tale of fraud, insanity and secrets

London 1862. Sue Trinder, orphaned at birth, grows up among petty thieves - fingersmiths - under the rough but loving care of Mrs Sucksby and her 'family'. But from the moment Sue draws breath, her fate is linked to that of another orphan growing up in a gloomy mansion not too many miles away.

'A page turning thriller while managing to be a tender love story' Adam Kay

'Intensely atmospheric, impeccably paced, and cunningly structured' Mail on Sunday

'A chilling, ingenious erotic thriller - unputdownable' Sunday Express

'Long, dark, twisted and satisfying... An unforgettable experience' Julie Myerson, Guardian
