Additional Information

"Set A Thief is Martin Page's second novel, a brilliant historical thriller which begins in 1911. John Pierpoint Morgan, the world's richest man, eighty-one and dying, obsessed with his own ugliness, has one last unfinished piece of business on earth: to procure the Mona Lisa. Since the French Government refuses to sell it, Morgan hires the world's most accomplished thief, Adam Worth. Morgan already knows Worth as the man who robbed the bank in Boston, stole his mistress's jewels in New York, forged his letters of credit in Brussels and pirated his yacht in Cannes. In addition to technical expertise Worth's outstanding skill, far exceeding that of any actor of his time, is 'total impersonation'. In the past he has created for himself a series of false but complete personalities, and seems able to change even his physique by means of will-power"; author's signature to the title page; top and bottom of spine plus corners of covers are very slightly bumped and rubbed; slight edge wear to dj; dj is NOT price clipped
