Ruby Mills is ruthlessly ambitious, strikingly beautiful - and one of the Forty Thieves' most talented members.

Harriet Littlemore is an aspiring journalist from a 'good' family, engaged to a rising star of the Tory party - but she wants a successful career of her own.

After witnessing Ruby fleeing the scene of a robbery, Harriet develops a fascination with the young thief that extends beyond journalistic interest. As their personal aspirations bring them into closer contact than society's rules usually allow, Ruby and Harriet's stories become increasingly intertwined.

Their magnetic dynamic, fraught with envy and desire, tells a compulsive, cinematic story about class, morality and the cost of being an independent woman in 1920s London.

Praise for Georgina Clarke:

'Brava to this new, engaging voice' - Karen Odden, author of A Lady In Smoke

'A gripping page-turner with a sassy and fabulously original heroine in the form of Lizzie Hardwicke - I loved it!' - Annie Lyons, author of Not Quite Perfect

'Razor sharp and brilliantly original' - Joe Heap, author of The Rules of Seeing

'Sparkling and twisty' - Celia Anderson, author of 59 Memory Lane
