Welcome to London, but not as you know it. A place where magics and horror run free, wonders and miracles are everyday things, and the dark streets are full of very shadowy people....

Gideon Sable is a thief and a con man. He specializes in stealing the kind of things that can't normally be stolen. Like a ghost's clothes, or a photo from a country that never existed. He even stole his current identity. Who was he originally? Now, that would be telling.

One thing's for sure though, he's not the bad guy. The people he steals from always have it coming. Gideon's planning a heist, to steal the only thing that matters from the worst man in the world. To get past his security, he's going to need a crew who can do the impossible...but luckily, he has the right people in mind. The Damned, the Ghost, the Wild Card...and his ex-girlfriend, Annie Anybody. A woman who can be anyone, with the power to make technology fall in love with her.

If things go well, they'll all get what they want. And if they're lucky, they might not even die trying....

Performed by Christopher Walker, Scott McCormick, Jenna Sharpe, John Kielty, Rayner Gabriel, Terence Aselford, Henry Kramer, Holly Adams, Peter Holdway, Kay Elúvian, Rob McFadyen, Eric Messner, Lydia Kraniotis and Michael John Casey.

Fantastic fun listen!

What a fun listen while doing mundane tile work. Wish I could find more listens like this daily! :-)

Fun

I usually read murder mysteries but decided to choose a book by title only and I'm glad I chose this one. It is much different from a murder mystery and having all the different characters with different narrators was fun. I like graphic audio books c=

Upbeat mystery with twists of fun

Great sound design, voice actors, and compelling story telling. The story premise is interesting and the characters/world came to life within a few pages. Would recommended!

loved the way the impossible is made possible.

great subtle humor and wonderful play on words to bring an unlikely story to believability. I needed a change of pace like this.

A quick heist caper with magic

I’m pretty much always down for a heist in a magical world. The narration was fantastic, it had a quick pace to it and a satisfying end… but the characters didn’t quite pop for me. Not quite for me, but If you’re looking for a fast-paced magical heist, this one might be for you !

A very pleasant surprise!

I wasn't sure about this, but I like Graphic Audio's production work so I thought I'd try it. While some of the dialog tries too hard at making puns, the story and the plot twists were entertaining. The acting was well done and fit the characters perfectly. While I don't think I'd enjoy a whole series with these characters, this story was quite entertaining.

Meh story, good actors, good sound design

As far as heist plots go, this one was... unexpectedly boring and slow. With rather repetitive dialogue to boot. I still can't figure out why any of the characters decided to stay in the heist. Sable-thief is a very detached, self-important ar$e with no backstory. I couldn't bring myself to feel anything toward him except annoyance. The other characters were better fleshed out and interesting.

Voice actors did an excellent job. The sound design is on-point. Still going to keep this title, as it's something to keep on in the background
