The Thief of Blackfriars Lane

by Michelle Griep

Book 1 of the Blackfriars Lane series

294 pages · First published 2021

Newly appointed constable Jackson Forge is desperate to prove himself in Victorian London when a missing cab driver case sends him into the territory of Kit Turner. Kit is a con artist who styles herself as a kind of Robin Hood, redistributing money from people with plenty to those with none. Jackson needs her street knowledge badly enough to overlook her criminal methods for the moment, while Kit has little choice once he threatens to arrest her if she refuses. Michelle Griep’s historical mystery-romance pairs law and lawbreaking in a fast-moving search through Blackfriars where both characters must reconsider how neatly justice fits inside rules.
