Tale of a Gentleman Thief

Shinwell Cadwaller is an acquirer of rare and hard to obtain objects - it's a shame that the owners of these items fail to see his talent. That has always been the case and Shinwell's preference until a simple misread map and perhaps the hand of fate stepped in. Shinwell now finds himself entwined in a conspiracy that threatens to unleash a darkness on the world like none that has been seen before. With the help of an astute and recently widowed lady of means an inspector on the outs and a supernatural companion of questionable loyalties Shinwell will take the request to return a stolen statue and find himself thrust into a quest to save the world or to at least survive the attempt.
