Thief: tales of rogues and robbers

By Myna Chang, Jessica Wilcox, Paulene Turner

THIEF: One who takes what isn't theirs when no-one is looking

Why do we love stories about thieves? Is it because they're full of excitement with characters who have unique skills and the courage to take enormous risks for epic rewards? Because, though not squeaky clean, they dare to reach for the stars, regardless of the consequences?

This collection features 20 dazzling and diverse tales about thieves by some of the best short story writers in the world today.

From an audacious intergalactic heist and high-risk tightrope walk across New York to a pirate ship in the Caribbean and a trip through time to visit Leonardo da Vinci, the rogues and robbers in these tales will tantalise, disturb, move you or make you laugh out loud.
