The tables are turned on Gideon Sable in this urban-fantasy thriller, when a priceless magical artifact is stolen right under the nose of London’s most legendary master thief.
Gideon Sable – legendary conman, rogue and chancer – and his partner in crime Annie Anybody were not made for the life of shopkeepers, even magical ones, but when the enigmatic Harry (magical proprietor of stuff of dreams. . . and nightmares) decides to retire, the pair are blackmailed into taking on his store.
Then, right before the grand re-opening of Old Harry’s Place, a menacing stranger arrives – with a rare and deadly item for them to appraise: a small piece of rock, with an unnerving aura, which “Smith” claims contains the last echoes of the legendary sirens’ song.
Some valuables are more trouble than they’re worth. But before Gideon and Annie can work out if they’ve been set up, the stone is stolen. How? And why? Gideon only knows one thing for certain: no one steals from him and gets away with it . . .
The next instalment in the fast-paced, urban fantasy thriller series from New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green. Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows and C.K. Mc Donnell’s Stranger Times series.
