Description
Master thief, rogue and chancer Gideon Sable is back for another fast-paced supernatural heist - and this time he has the vault of a Las Vegas casino in his sights. Judi Rifkin is one of the worlds most successful collectors of the weird and unnatural. In a London underworld filled with criminals with very special talents, Judi is a force to be reckoned with. And Gideon Sable - thief, rogue and chancer - owes her a very large favour. Judi makes him an offer he cant refuse: steal her the legendary Masque of Ra, kept safe in a Las Vegas casino, and shell wipe the slate clean. This isnt Gideons first heist by a long shot. But with old grudges threatening to cloud his judgment, an unpredictable crew who dont entirely trust each other and a formidable supernatural security team guarding his target, this job might be a gamble too far . . . A Matter of Death and Life is the sequel to The Best Thing You Can Steal, and is the second supernatural heist thriller featuring master conman Gideon Sable from British SFF veteran and New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green.
