The Good Thief's Guide to Venice

There's no honour among thieves ¿ but could there be romance?

Charlie Howard ¿ struggling crime-writer by day, talented thief by night ¿ has gone straight. But holing himself up in a crumbling palazzo in Venice in an attempt to concentrate on his next novel hasn¿t got rid of the itch in his fingers. And to make matters worse, a striking Italian beauty has just broken into his apartment and made off with his most prized possession, leaving a puzzling calling card in its place.

It looks as though kicking the habit of a lifetime will be much more of a challenge than Charlie thought.

Sneaking out into Venice¿s maze of murky canals, Charlie¿s attempts to tame a cat burglar embroil him in a plot that is far bigger and more explosive than he could ever have imagined.

The Good Thief's Guide to Venice is the 4th title in Chris Ewan¿s highly acclaimed Good Thief¿s Guide series. All of the books in the series can be read and enjoyed as individual mysteries.
