The Good Thieves

by Katherine Rundell

Just arrived from England, Vita Marlowe has a mission. Her dear grandfather Jack has been swindled out of his home and belongings by a ruthless conman with Mafia ties. With Jack’s spirit crushed, Vita is determined to bring justice—and joy—back into his life. So she hatches a daring plan to outsmart his enemies and reclaim what was stolen.

On the bustling city streets, she meets a clever young pickpocket. And soon, two extraordinary boys—each with mysterious talents of their own—are swept up in Vita’s bold and dangerous scheme.
