Publisher's Summary
Boston, 1765: In D.B. Jackson's Thieftaker, revolution is brewing as the British Crown imposes increasingly onerous taxes on the colonies, and intrigue swirls around firebrands like Samuel Adams and the Sons of Liberty. But for Ethan Kaille, a thieftaker who makes his living by conjuring spells that help him solve crimes, politics is for others…until he is asked to recover a necklace worn by the murdered daughter of a prominent family.
Suddenly, he faces another conjurer of enormous power, someone unknown, who is part of a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of power in the turbulent colony. His adversary has already killed - and not for his own gain, but in the service of his powerful masters, people for whom others are mere pawns in a game of politics and power. Ethan is in way over his head, and he knows it. Already a man with a dark past, he can ill afford to fail, lest his livelihood be forfeit. But he can't stop now, for his magic has marked him, so he must fight the odds, even though he seems hopelessly overmatched, his doom seeming certain at the spectral hands of one he cannot even see.

"American revoltion with a new angle interesting"
Would you listen to Thieftaker again? Why?No once was enough good story but not timeless
What was one of the most memorable moments of Thieftaker?Near the end when the final showdown with the other conjurer battle it out
Have you listened to any of Jonathan Davis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?First one alittle slow at first but a good story would like to hear next one
If you could rename Thieftaker, what would you call it?Good name, didn't know what it meant at first but it works with the book
Any additional comments?yes, I liked it after it got going and look for the next one

"Cool concept that went no where."
Would you try another book from D. B. Jackson and/or Jonathan Davis?I was drawn to this book by the basic premise but it turned out to not deliver. It had a poor plot, repetitive action and two dimensional characters. Nothing of interest is done with the historical figures who show up in minor rolls.
Would you ever listen to anything by D. B. Jackson again?Probably not.
