Summary

Welcome to London, but not as you know it. A place where magics and horror run free, wonders and miracles are everyday things, and the dark streets are full of very shadowy people....  

Gideon Sable is a thief and a con man. He specializes in stealing the kind of things that can't normally be stolen. Like a ghost's clothes, or a photo from a country that never existed. He even stole his current identity. Who was he originally? Now, that would be telling. 

One thing's for sure though, he's not the bad guy. The people he steals from always have it coming. Gideon's planning a heist, to steal the only thing that matters from the worst man in the world. To get past his security, he's going to need a crew who can do the impossible...but luckily, he has the right people in mind. The Damned, the Ghost, the Wild Card...and his ex-girlfriend, Annie Anybody. A woman who can be anyone, with the power to make technology fall in love with her.  

If things go well, they'll all get what they want. And if they're lucky, they might not even die trying....  

Performed by Christopher Walker, Scott McCormick, Jenna Sharpe, John Kielty, Rayner Gabriel, Terence Aselford, Henry Kramer, Holly Adams, Peter Holdway, Kay Elúvian, Rob McFadyen, Eric Messner, Lydia Kraniotis and Michael John Casey.

One of the best

Great story with great cast. It combines fantasy with a crime caper, oceans 11 style.

Don’t think just get it 😀

Comedy gold.

Had me in stitches. Great performances and a very engrossing story, if you like dark and witty.

WHAT a clever, fun ride! Heist of a lifetime!

incredibly well performed, and the sound effects were spot on. I loved entering this 40s/50s style detective/crime/supernatural world. The twist at the end was a complete surprise, incredibly well crafted. Characters we care about (sometimes despite ourselves) and jaded villans we love to hate. Priceless find... almost as priceless as the stuff the team wants to steal... In short, very high recommend. Once again, a free audible book leads to me spending dosh binging on everything else the author has written. Excuse me, I'm off to make another audible purchase! : )

A great story that hooks you from the start!

I love a full cast drama with a twist and this is the best I've listened to in ages. Highly recommend that you give it a go.

Good heist story with a supernatural twist

Good heist story with a supernatural twist. Story not overly complex. Great performances with the right voices for the characters.

Entertaining listen

Then production was fantastic and all the voice actors were great. The story is fun though a little simplistic.

Sounds more like a prequel

Lots of time spent learning the character's back story, with the heist taking place in the last hour or so. Enjoyed the heist, thought the character build up was a bit too info dump style. The usual OTT characters and situations and items that turn up in Simon Green's wonderful worlds.

Enjoyed all the narrators, thought they did a really good job. Hopefully book 2 will crack on with the action a bit earlier in the story.

Couldn't decide on 3 or 4 stars overall - in the end I split the difference between performance and story.
