tenacity, and close escapes." --Booklist
"A satisfying adventure." --Kirkus Reviews
From award-winning author Katherine Rundell comes a fast-paced and
utterly thrilling adventure driven by the loyalty and love between a
grandfather and his granddaughter.
When Vita's grandfather's mansion is taken from him by a powerful real
estate tycoon, Vita knows it's up to her to make things right.
With the help of a pickpocket and her new circus friends, Vita creates
the plan: Break into the mansion. Steal back what's rightfully her
grandfather's. Expose the real estate tycoon for the crook he truly is.
But 1920s Manhattan is ever-changing and full of secrets. It might take
more than Vita's ragtag gang of misfits to outsmart the city that never
sleeps.
Award-winning author Katherine Rundell has created an utterly gripping
tour de-force about loyalty, trust, and the lengths to which we'll go
for the ones we love.
