Ruby Mills is ruthlessly ambitious, strikingly beautiful – and one of the Forty Thieves’ most talented members. Harriet Littlemore writes the women’s section in a local newspaper.

After witnessing Ruby fleeing the scene of a robbery, Harriet develops a fascination with the elusive young thief that extends beyond journalistic interest. As their personal aspirations bring them into closer contact than society’s rules usually allow, Ruby and Harriet’s stories become increasingly intertwined. Their magnetic dynamic, fraught with envy and desire, tells a compulsive, cinematic story about class, morality and the cost of being an independent woman in 1920s London.

Wanting to know more, he took it to his English teacher Miss Isles, not realising the chain of events that he was setting in motion.

Then Miss Iles disappeared on a class field trip, and Steve’s memory won’t allow him to remember what happened. Now, out of prison after a long stretch, Steve decides to investigate the mystery that has haunted him for decades. Was Miss Iles murdered? Was she deluded? Or was she right about the code?
