Apart from the occasional expletive and some graphic violence, Among Thieves keeps to a PG-13 rating. A mystery involving a book that any number of deadly people seem to be looking for-a book that just might bring down emperors and shatter the criminal underworld.Ī book now inconveniently in Drothe’s hands…ĬLASSIFICATION: Among Thieves is like a cross between Scott Lynch’s the Gentleman Bastard series and Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn: The Final Empire, but told in a first-person narrative reminiscent of Alex Bledsoe’s Eddie LaCrosse novels, but without the hard-boiled cynicism. Working for a crime lord, he finds and takes care of trouble inside his boss’s organization-while smuggling imperial relics on the side.īut when his boss orders Drothe to track down whoever is leaning on his organization’s people, he stumbles upon a much bigger mystery. He has been a member of the Kin for years, rubbing elbows with thieves and murderers from the dirtiest of alleys to the finest of neighborhoods. It takes a canny hand and a wary eye to run these streets and survive. PLOT SUMMARY: Ildrecca is a dangerous city if you don’t know what you’re doing. He also practices and teaches Western European Martial Arts (WMA) with a focus on early 17th century Italian rapier combat.
