Where Is Anybody? - (A Gideon Sable Novel) by Simon R Green

About the Book

"Gideon Sable specializes in stealing the kind of things that can't usually be stolen. But these days the legendary master thief is officially retired from the caper game. Now, instead of pulling off elaborate heists with his crew of supernatural specialists, he runs a magical shop in the heart of London with his partner Annie Anybody. Still, he can't resist occasionally going out in the night to steal things when Annie's not looking--for old times' sake, and for the joy of the con. But after one of his late-night illicit jaunts, Gideon returns to the shop to find that while he's been stealing, someone else has been hard at work--stealing from him. 'I have taken Annie Anybody, ' reads the note on the countertop. 'If you ever want to see her again, you must find and steal Time's Arrow. You have forty-eight hours'"--

Book Synopsis

To rescue the love of his life, legendary conman Gideon Sable must pull off his most impossible heist yet. . . good thing he has some scary, magical friends with some pretty sticky fingers.

Retired from his life of crime, these days legendary master thief Gideon Sable spends his time running a magical shop in the heart of London, with his partner Annie Anybody. Still, occasionally he can't resist prowling the night to steal things when Annie's not looking. For old times' sake.

But one night, after another illicit jaunt, Gideon returns home to find that while he's been stealing, someone has stolen from him! A note on the countertop reads:

I have taken Annie Anybody.
If you ever want to see her again, you must find and steal Time's Arrow.
You have forty-eight hours.

Stealing the legendary Arrow isn't just a challenge; it's certain death. But Gideon will stop at nothing to save Annie from their unknown enemy - even if he has to do it alone.
