The Smokeby Tony Broadbent
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:London in 1947 is a misery of rationing and freezing weather, but Jethro--arguably the city's finest jewel-thief--is too busy to complain. Everything's rosy, in fact, until his skills attract the attention of the government, which wants Jethro to pull a little job. "Evocative, witty, and spellbinding."--"Publishers Weekly" Synopsis:It's 1947, and London, having toughed out the War, is being half-crippled by the Peace. It's the coldest winter in living memory, everything from bread to soap to underwear is rationed, and even beer, by official order, is watered down. No wonder the Black Market is thriving. But Jethro doesn't bother complaining much. As a jewel thief, he needs all his wits about him when engaged in redistributing the wealth of the upper classes. And the demands on Jethro's wits only increase when his thieving skills attract some unwelcome interest, first from London's thuggish crime-lords and then from His Majesty's Secret Service, which wants him to pull a little job on the Soviet Embassy. You wouldn't believe what an honest Cockney cat burglar has to do to survive sometimes. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
