House of thieves

Charles Belfoure

a novel

In 1886 New York, a respectable architect shouldn't have any connections to the notorious gang of thieves and killers that rules the underbelly of the city. But when john Cross's son racks up an unfathomable gambling debt to Kent's Gents, Cross must pay it back himself. All he has to do is use his inside knowledge of high society mansions and museums to craft a robbery even the smartest detective won't solve. The take better include some rare jewels and artwork, maybe some cash too - the bigger the payout, the faster this will be over. -- taken from inside book jacket
