A "thoroughly surprising" chapter in the life of Isaac Newton, with a "vivid re-creation of 17th-century London and its fascinating criminal haunts" (Providence Journal).

When renowned scientist Isaac Newton takes up the post of Warden of His Majesty's Mint in London, another kind of genius—a preternaturally gifted counterfeiter named William Chaloner—has already taken up residence in the city, rising quickly in an unruly, competitive underworld. In the courts and streets of London, and amid the tremors of a world being transformed by ideas Newton himself set in motion, Chaloner crosses paths with the formidable new warden.

An epic game of cat and mouse ensues in Newton and the Counterfeiter, revealing for the first time the "remarkable and true tale of the only criminal investigator who was far, far brainier than even Sherlock Holmes: Sir Isaac Newton during his tenure as Warden of the Royal Mint . . . A fascinating saga" (Walter Isaacson).
