When in 1932 young Richard Goodale travels to London to visit his older brother, Rodney, he finds himself swept up by Rodney's eccentric boss into a plot to recover a stolen stamp. Despite his new-found preoccupation with learning to draw, Richard's initiation into burglary instead finds him retreating across two countries in company with a voluptuous poet (never poetess), just one of the surprising characters he meets.

Autorenporträt
"Jill Shakley" is really Jill and James Shakley, a duo that has been married since 1969. They are the authors of Three on a Match, I Always Win, The Bearded Queen, and Not Full Circle. Their books take place in Depression-era England, and occasionally share their casts of characters. The Shakleys feel that life can most successfully be lived with a light touch. Jill has an MA in English from the University of Toronto and retired from the Toronto Hospital for Sick Children after forty years. After a lifetime of gardening, Jill certainly knows about digging holes, which Kenneth spends much of his time doing. James is an artist and historian who has done a wide variety of jobs, often two or more at the same time. Over the course of their life together, they have lived with more than two dozen different cats. The Shakleys live in Toronto, in the Upper Beaches, currently with three cats.
