About This Book

A resourceful gentleman thief notices a strange nocturnal scene at a jeweler's shop—a woman with an old-style thief's lantern and a stifled cry—and resolves to investigate with his companion. Posing as a customer, he confronts an uneasy assistant, learns the proprietor is absent and that pearls have been sent elsewhere, and quietly plots to examine the jewels himself. The episode follows his careful sleuthing, encounters with deception and disguise, and the tension between criminal skill and a personal moral code as he seeks to uncover what lies behind the apparent burglary.
