About This Book

A famed gentleman-thief living in Amsterdam with his secretary is approached about a baffling pair of crimes at a wealthy collector's house. The first theft took several antique silver pieces and jewelry; the second removed a lavish golden skull fashioned as a drinking cup and encrusted with diamonds. Both incidents show no sign of forced entry, and the collector's son describes the artifact's provenance and the strange circumstances. The thief is asked to investigate how such seemingly impossible thefts could have been carried out and to uncover the perpetrators.
