The Rogues' Paradise
By Edwin Pugh & Charles Gleig
Published by James Bowden: London 1898 1st Edition
SCARCE BOOK

"The Rogues' Paradise by Edwin Pugh and Charles Gleig is a vivid and fast-paced crime adventure set in the gritty underworld of late Victorian or Edwardian London. The story follows a cast of swindlers, outcasts, and shady characters who operate within a secretive criminal haven—"the rogues' paradise"—where society's outlaws thrive beyond the reach of law and order. Blending suspense, dark humor, and social critique, the novel explores the twisted codes of loyalty and betrayal among thieves, as well as the blurred lines between crime and survival.

Through sharply drawn characters and atmospheric storytelling, Pugh and Gleig create a world where conventional morality is turned upside down. While the book indulges in the thrills of criminal exploits, it also reflects on deeper issues such as class inequality, justice, and the desperation that drives people to a life of crime. The Rogues' Paradise offers both entertainment and a raw portrait of society's margins, making it a compelling read for fans of early 20th-century urban crime fiction."
