The Burglars' Club: A Romance in Twelve Chronicles

A series of twelve linked chronicles follows an exclusive club of gentleman burglars who stage witty, elegant heists on curiosities and symbolic treasures. Each chapter centers on a particular object—antiques, regalia, manuscripts, scientific oddities, and medals—and blends light mystery, comic observation, and crafty detection. Recurring personalities and urbane dialogue reveal motives rooted in sport and antiquarian taste rather than greed, while plots feature disguise, clever subterfuge, and ironic reversals. The tone mixes suspense and humor as each caper examines social manners, collecting obsessions, and the performative risks of genteel transgression.
