| Summary | "A Set of Rogues" by Frank Barrett is a historical novel set in the late 19th century. The story follows a group of characters whose lives intertwine through various adventures, primarily centered around Jack Dawson and his daughter Moll, as well as a poet and rogue named Christopher Sutton. The narrative reveals their struggles as performers during a time of social upheaval and misfortune, leading them into unexpected conspiracies and moral dilemmas. The opening of the novel introduces us to the ensemble of characters facing a tumultuous period marked by the plague and a devastating fire that has left London in ruins. Jack Dawson, his daughter Moll, and Christopher Sutton, along with their companion Ned Herring, navigate through a series of unfortunate events—from being jailed to losing their money and belongings. As they attempt to regain their fortunes through theatrical performances, they encounter betrayal and hardship, with Moll’s spirited nature providing a glimmer of hope amidst their despair. The chapter sets the tone for the ensuing adventures and challenges that will test their loyalty and resilience as they embark on a dubious scheme that could change their lives forever.
