House of Thieves (Wheeler Publising large print) - Hardcover

"Charles Belfoure sees New York's Gilded Age with an architect's eye and evokes the atmosphere wonderfully. Familiar figures like the legendary Mrs. Astor and Stanford White help set the scene, but in no time at all a sinister intrigue begins, and Belfoure leads us on a splendid page-turner as a respectable family discovers its criminal side in old New York." - Edward Rutherford, New York Times bestselling author of Paris: The Novel and New York: The Novel

In 1886 New York, a respectable architect should have no connection to the gang that rules the citys underbelly. But John Crosss son has racked up a huge gambling debt. Using his inside knowledge of mansions and museums, he crafts the perfect robbery. But his newfound talent becomes invaluable to the gang.
