What they say about it
Charlie Howard, gentleman thief and famous crime-writer, has gone straight. But holing himself up in a crumbling palazzo in Venice in an attempt to concentrate on his next novel hasn’t got rid of the itch in his fingers. To make matters worse, an Italian beauty has broken into his apartment and made off with his most prized possession.

What I thought
This was a fun read, but complete throw away fiction. I enjoyed it, it was fast paced and kept me interested. But, I won’t remember it in a few weeks. Is that a bad thing, probably not, but it’s not one of the world’s great works of fiction.
