The Thief Lord (2010)
“Locked up in an old movie theater by a bunch of children!
The hours passed and Victor kept going over things in his mind: I should have known, I should have known the moment that Esther woman came into my office with her pointy nose and her yellow coat. Yellow has always been my unlucky color.
He was trying for the twentieth time to reach his shoe, which contained a few useful tools for emergencies hidden in its heel, when the door behind him opened. It happened very quietly as if whoever was c...oming in wanted to keep it from everyone else. A light was flashed into Victor's face and someone knelt down next to him on the scratchy blanket. Prosper.

I really enjoyed this book! I particularly like it when we learn about Scipio's secret. I also greatly enjoyed the surprise at the end. It shows something that Barbarossa would never admit to.Write Review:
