{"product_id":"the-thief-taker-9780743290180","title":"The Thief Taker","description":"In the cellar there was no sound at all except her own breathing and the soft rustle of her skirts. After her eyes had grown accustomed to the dark, she noticed a niche in the wall a yard from where she stood. She saw something there about the size of her fist. Agnes quietly picked it up. It was wrapped in a cloth and surprisingly heavy. . . a pistol, the hilt filthy with mud and dirt. Suddenly she heard the chinking sound of glasses nearby. There was no mistaking the voices now. Before she had time to call out, another door creaked open and the pair emerged from the darkness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Agnes Meadowes is cook to the Blanchards of Foster Lane, the renowned London silversmiths. Preparing jugged hare, oyster loaves, almond soup, and other delicacies for the family has given her a dependable life for herself and her son. But when the Blanchards' most prestigious commission, a giant silver wine cooler, is stolen and a young apprentice murdered, Theodore Blanchard calls on Agnes to investigate below stairs. Soon she is inside the sordid underworld of London crime, where learning the truth comes at a high price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Gleeson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743290180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2006 pg. 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/17\/2006 pg. 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/2006 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2006 pg. 61\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2006 pg. 31\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGleeson, Janet:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eJanet Gleeson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the bestseller \u003ci\u003eThe Arcanum\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as \u003ci\u003eMillionaire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Grenadillo Box\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Serpent in the Garden\u003c\/i\u003e.
