About this product
Product Information
Normal0falsefalsefalseEN-GBX-NONEX-NONEMicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Cockney cat burglar and jewel thief Jethro is as smart as he is streetwise, but even he has to be a bit nimble to prosper in the austerity-ridden, black-market-riddled world of post-war England. Having barely survived the war, Jethro tells everyone he's gone straight and takes up as a stagehand in London's theatre-land. But the truth is that hiding in plain sight around London's West End is the perfect cover for his diamond capers in wealthy Mayfair and Belgravia. Jethro steals into the embassy of an Iron Curtain power to pinch some fabled Czarist jewelry, but his daring caper brings him to the attention of His Majesty's Secret Service and they blackmail him into going back to retrieve a secret code-book and help a beautiful cipher clerk defect. It;s all a set up for a thieft to catch a thieft that pits Jethro against London's top villains, as well as one of the Soviet's topmost secret agents and assassins.

Reviews
What a wonderful setting and what brilliant writing. I strongly suggest that you hurry out to your friendly independent book dealer and secure a copy. Hopefully, there may be another book in the series in the near future., Tony Broadbent well and truly claims post-war London as his manor. With a viewfrom the rooftops through teh eyes of Jethro the cat-burglar--a most likable rogue if ever there was one. A page-turner that takes us from the inner sanctum of Britain's Secret Service to underworld territories run by the kings of crime. I loved every minute of it!, An evocative and witty style distinguishes Broadbent's first novel, set in austere 1947 London. This strong debut marks Broadbent as definitely an author to watch., Vintage atmosphere, great writing, perfect story...nails the period better than I have ever seen it done before., The best stories take the reader into new worlds and experiences. Tony Broadbent provides that with wonderful skill in The Smoke. More than a page-turner or a caper novel, it's about a time and place uniquely and expertly captured by this new writer. I was enthralled with it., First of a series: with lovable, larcenous Jethro a good bet to steal hearts on both sides of the Atlantic., This knockout first novel carries the reader deep into the labyrinthine streets of London immediately after World War II. Broadbent's hero, cat burglar Jethro, fits perfectly into this post-Blitz zeitgeist. A witty and jaunty opportunist, Jethro serves as combination narrator and tour guide through his own adventures and craft. The first four chapters (arguably one of the most exquisitely suspenseful openings in crime fiction) offer Jethro's take on a "creep" (slang for a cat burglary) he conducts in the Soviet Embassy... Remarkable history-mystery with fascinating background., Tony Broadbent well and truly claims post-war London as his manor. With a viewfrom the rooftops through teh eyes of Jethro the cat-burglar-a most likable rogue if ever there was one. A page-turner that takes us from the inner sanctum of Britain's Secret Service to underworld territories run by the kings of crime. I loved every minute of it!, The Smoke takes its time concentrating on its main suspense story; after all, there are so many dark alleys and byways in London to explore (the great crumbling theaters, fry shops like The Victory Cafe, where customers can still get "a good nosh") that the novel is easily diverted from its spy-vs.-spy machinations. Not a problem. Jethro's illicit adventures are entertaining, but this is one of those mysteries whose distinctive sense of place lingers long after plot details have faded.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
