Order of Benjamin Weaver Books
Benjamin Weaver serves as the central character in David Liss's acclaimed historical mystery/thriller series. An American author, Liss crafts these compelling narratives through the first-person perspective of an aging Benjamin Weaver as he reflects on his extraordinary life.
Born to Portuguese Sephardic Jewish parents in 18th-century London, Weaver's journey takes him through two dramatically different professions. He first establishes himself as a formidable bareknuckle boxer before transitioning into the world of criminal investigation as a "thief-taker" – the era's equivalent of today's private detective.
The series launched in 2000 with A Conspiracy of Paper and continues to captivate readers with its blend of historical detail and gripping mystery. Here's the complete chronological listing of David Liss's Benjamin Weaver novels in their original publication order:
