''A Rogue By Compulsion'' by Victor Bridges is a gripping novel that follows the story of a young man named Jack who is forced into a life of crime due to circumstances beyond his control. Jack is a talented artist and a gentleman by nature, but he finds himself caught up in a web of deceit and betrayal that leads him down a dangerous path.As Jack struggles to survive in a world of thieves and scoundrels, he must also confront his own inner demons and come to terms with the choices he has made. Along the way, he meets a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful but dangerous woman named Evelyn, who challenges him in ways he never thought possible.With its vivid descriptions of London’s criminal underworld and its complex characters, ''A Rogue By Compulsion'' is a thrilling and thought-provoking read. Bridges’ writing is both engaging and insightful, offering a unique perspective on the human condition and the choices we make in life. Whether you’re a fan of historical fiction, crime novels, or simply great storytelling, this book is sure to captivate and entertain you from beginning to end.Still, even if my suspicions were right, there seemed no reason for being seriously worried. The gentleman on the pavement might have overheard me give the address to the driver, but that after all was exactly what I should have liked him to hear. Dinner at Gaultier’s sounded a most natural preliminary to an evening’s dissipation, and unless I was being actually followed to the restaurant I had nothing to fear. It was quite possible that my friend with the scar was only anxious to discover whether I was really setting out for the West End.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
