Light Fingers by Francis Durbridge

When a series of seemingly unrelated thefts strikes a posh neighborhood, a quiet investigator uncovers a pattern leading to a surprising culprit. With each stolen item, a larger scheme comes into focus involving blackmail, betrayal, and hidden identities. The plot is sleek and layered, keeping readers guessing to the end. A crime story where charm and danger walk hand-in-hand. A clever game of sleight-of-hand—both literal and emotional.
