This is a story of Varka, the most prolific thief Aeneria has ever known. With the aid of magic, Varka has spent the majority of his life scouring the Light Side, pilfering and fencing everything within his broad horizon; gems, precious artwork, forgotten secrets, and beautiful lies. His thieving career brings him to the heist of a lifetime, a luxury ship of unmatched speed and rare quality. Aeneria's Light Side is as warm as it is naive, and beneath its veneer of safety lies a perfect vulnerability--- Magic only exists in the fringes of campfire legends; yet Varka is from the Dark Side, which means he is most adept in the craft. Just like every other job, there should be no one who could stop him from pulling off this, his greatest heist. No one at all, unless there happened to be a better thief lying in wait. One who happened to have her sights set on the same ship.

Описание: It was a time of unregulated madness. And nowhere was it madder than in Chicago at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties. Enter a slick, smooth-talking, charismatic lawyer named Leo Koretz, who enticed hundreds of people to invest as much as $30 million upward of $400 million today in phantom timberland and nonexistent oil wells in Panama. This rip-roaring tale of greed, financial corruption, dirty politics, over-the-top and under-the-radar deceit, illicit sex, and a brilliant and wildly charming con man on the town, then on the lam, is not only a rich and detailed account of a man and an era; it s a fascinating look at the methods of swindlers throughout history. As Model Ts rumbled down Michigan Avenue, gang-war shootings announced Al Capone s rise to underworld domination. As bedecked partygoers thronged to the Drake Hotel s opulent banquet rooms, corrupt politicians held court in thriving speakeasies and the frenzy of stock market gambling was rampant. Leo Koretz was the Bernie Madoff of his day, and Dean Jobb shows us that the American dream of easy wealth is a timeless commodity. ? A rollicking tale that is one part "The Sting," one part "The Great Gatsby," and one part "The Devil in the White City." Karen Abbott, author of "Liar, Temptress, Soldier, Spy" Intoxicating and impressively researched, Jobb s immorality tale provides a sobering post-Madoff reminder that those who think everything is theirs for the taking are destined to be taken. " The New York Times Book Review " Captivating . . . A story that seems to be as American as it can get, and it s told well. "The Christian Science Monitor" A masterpiece of narrative set-up and vivid language . . . Jobb vividly . . . brings the Chicago of the 1880s and 90s to life. "Chicago Tribune" This cautionary tale of 1920s greed and excess reads like it could happen today. The Associated Press"
