Synopsis
A Conspiracy of Paper is a 2000 novel by David Liss set in 18th century London. The protagonist is Benjamin Weaver, a former pugilist and current thief-taker. Though the lead character is fictional, the story does touch on real events, such as the South Sea Bubble, and real 18th century characters such as Jonathan Wild. It is said to have been inspired by the real life boxing champion, Daniel Mendoza.
