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.

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=

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 !

Fantastic fun listen!

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

Introducing Gideon Sable

Great new (to me) character on the supernatural heist scene. Well paced, well performed, and enjoyable enough to motivate me to buy the next 4 installments.

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.

Everything!!!

So AWESOME I’m buying!! Favorite Graphic Novel! Love Ismael Jones, John Taylor and now Gideon Sable!!

Jenna sharpe has an amazing voice

I loved the quirky old timey vibe and all the supernatural. The cast was amazing!!

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!

Incredible Performance and Storytelling!

The Best Thing You Can Steal was an absolute blast from start to finish. The GraphicAudio production made it feel like I was dropped into a classic black-and-white detective movie — gritty, sharp, and so immersive. The voice acting was AMAZING — every character felt distinct and alive, bringing so much depth and energy to the story. Simon R. Green’s world is like nothing I’ve read before: clever, fast-paced, and wildly entertaining. If you’re looking for something that feels like a movie in your mind, this is it. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed this one

This author is a bit of a hit and miss for me, but this novel was definitely a hit. It really helps that it was an audio play. I tend to not love the writing style but I always enjoy the world building. The characters were good too
