So he has taken matters into his own hands, hatching a plot to escape Europe. To fund his new life, he plans to steal a fortune from the encroaching Allies. A fortune that Shtefan, in turn, plans to steal from him...Atmospheric and intense, The Soul of a Thief captures the turbulent emotional rush of those caught behind the lines of occupied France, where one false step could spell death, and every day brings a new struggle to survive.Hanover Square Press is home to compelling, original fiction and nonfiction titles that keep you up all night reading and that you want to talk about the next morning.Check out a few of Hanover's riveting historical fiction titles you also might enjoy:How We Disappeared by Jing-Jing LeeThe Trial and Execution of George Washington by Charles RosenbergTomorrow by Damian Dibben
