Description
Unsettling words from his dying father set twelve-year-old William Jones on a desperate search through darkest London for John Diamond, the son of a man his father apparently once cheated badly. In the course of his search, he encounters an odd assortment of characters, some of whom seem determined to kill him. Originally published in the United States as *Footsteps*, *John Diamond* combines a cast of remarkable eccentrics with superb sensory descriptions. This title was a Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book.
First Sentence
I OUGHT TO BEGIN with the footsteps; but first of all I must tell you that my name is William Jones and that I was twelve years old when I began to hear them.
