Introducing the Fitzglens and their theater of thieves in this spellbinding gothic mystery! London, 1908. The Fitzglens are proud of their reputation as one of London' s leading theater families. They are, however, equally proud of another profession which they pursue very discreetly . . . When not on stage, they are thieves. Jack Fitzglen' s latest plan is to seek out the infamous Talisman Chalice, steal it and create a dazzling piece of theater around it. He travels to Vallow Hall in Northumberland to find the mysterious Maude - the last known link to the Chalice but uncovers something far darker. Scandal, secrets, and danger lurk in every shady corner. Perhaps the legend of the Chalice has come true: that in the wrong hands, the Chalice drags a person into, ' A darkness from which he or she can never emerge. ' As past and present collide, can Jack find the Chalice, the truth and return to his theater of thieves unscathed?
