<p>It's 1947, and London is being half-crippled by the Peace. It's the coldest winter in living memory, everything is rationed, and even beer, by official order, is watered down. But Jethro doesn't bother complaining much. As a jewel thief, he needs all his wits about him when engaged in redistributing the wealth of the upper classes. The demands on Jethro's wits increase when his skills attract some unwelcome interest, first from London's thuggish crime-lords and then from His Majesty's Secret Service, which wants him to pull a little job on the Soviet Embassy. You wouldn't believe what an honest Cockney cat burglar has to do to survive sometimes.</p>

British & Irish

Felony & Mayhem

<p>The Nazis have only recently been routed, but in England Fascism is becoming fashionable once again; the odious Sir Oswald Mosley has been vigorously recruiting members to his New Order of Britain party. Anxious to spoke his wheel, the secret service turns once again to Jethro, Cockney cat-burglar extraordinaire. They appeal to his pride, to his patriotism, to his preference for staying out of jail. Surely he wouldn't mind lifting a few vital documents from Mosley's headquarters? Jethro's an obliging fellow and the finest creeper in London, but larceny is never as simple as one might like to think.</p>
