A mysterious Robin Hood targets Wall Street titans in this exciting novel by the author of the John J. Malone Mysteries (The Cincinnati Enquirer). Thanks to a financial scheme by a small circle of very rich men, countless people have suffered. Now one man intends to make the Wall Street moguls pay. He hovers on the edges of their social events, where their wives and daughters sport priceless jewels even as others in the city struggle just to survive. But our thief's latest escapade has inadvertently turned into a kidnapping. When he tries to release the girl-an unhappy, madcap heiress-she decides she wants in on the action. And when a murderer enters the picture, the thief must defend himself against crimes far more serious than petty theft . . . Originally published under the name Daphne Sanders, this inventive thriller by author Craig Rice, who is known for her tough, wisecracking style, mixes a vivid portrait of Great Depression-era New York with a twist-filled plot following a clever vigilante and the private detective trying to track him down (The New York Times). A lively, well-paced story. -Boston Traveler This ebook features an introduction by Jeffrey Marks.
