A Matter of Death and Life
by Simon R. Green

Master thief, rogue and chancer Gideon Sable returns for another fast-paced supernatural heist – and this time Gideon and his crew have their sights on a Las Vegas casino.

Judi Rifkin is the richest collector of the weird and unnatural to ever grace London’s underworld. And Gideon Sable owes her a very large favour. If Gideon can steal the legendary Masque of Ra, which sits on full display in the busy Khuffu casino, she’ll wipe his slate clean.

To steal the mask Gideon will need help from some old friends:

The Damned – a seriously scary killer, who’s staring down the barrel of eternal damnation.

The Wild Card – a man who can see beyond the veil of the material world.

Switch It Sally – fellow master thief every bit as wily as Gideon.

And, of course, Annie Anybody – the woman who can become anyone. . . and also Gideon’s girlfriend.

But with old grudges threatening to cloud his judgment, an unpredictable crew who don’t entirely trust each other and a formidable supernatural security team guarding his target, this job might be a gamble too far . . .

Dive deeper into the magical world of Gideon Sable in the witty, action-packed sequel to The Best Thing You Can Steal. This urban-fantasy series, by New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green, is perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows and C.K. McDonnell’s Stranger Times series.
