The Thief of Blackfriars Lane

There's Often a Fine Line Between a Criminal and a Saint

Victorian London is a city of fog and gaslight, of cobblestone streets and sharp social divides — and somewhere in the middle of it all, Constable Jackson Forge is trying to make the world a little safer. Kit Turner has the same goal, just a very different method: she runs a crew of swindlers who take from the rich and give to the poor, old-fashioned as that sounds.

When a local cab driver goes missing, Jackson is tasked with finding the man — and the only lead he has runs straight through Kit. If he doesn’t find the cabby, he’ll lose his badge. If Kit doesn’t help him, she’ll lose her freedom. Neither of them realizes those are the least of their problems.

The Thief of Blackfriars Lane is a fast-paced, witty, and warmly written Victorian mystery from Christy Award-winning author Michelle Griep — full of plot twists, sharp banter, and the kind of redemptive grace that reminds us that God has always had a habit of using the most unlikely people for His purposes.

Perfect for fans of Victorian fiction, historical mystery, and Christian romance with a dash of adventure.
