Sneak Peak
‘You can call me Dr. Fathom . Or Count Fathom . But I'm not who I say I am. And can you blame me? My mother was a soldiers' harlot who pocketed extra loot by wandering through the battlefield stripping the dead and dying of valuables.’

Synopsis
Tobias Smollett's gothic novel The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom was first released in 1753. Dark, enigmatic, and villainous, the main character swindles, cheats, and philanders his way through Europe and England with little to no regard for the law or the welfare of others. In his own words, "Fathom justifies the proverb 'What's bred in the bone will never come out of the flesh'" because he is the son of an equally repugnant mother.
