title: Den of Thieves
author: Holden, William
description: Book 3 in the  Thomas Newton  series  It seems like the right time for Thomas Newton to close the door on his past. The hypocritical crusaders of the Society for the Reformation of Manners have stopped their raids and scattered. The arrogant aristocrat who tried to kill Christopher and Pierre, Thomas's lovers, has been executed for treason. The old threats have vanished.  But in 18th Century London, nothing is ever quite what it seems. When a series of murders begin plaguing the city, Thomas and Pierre are called to solve them. The crimes may conceal a plot against the king.  After Thomas enters the Den of Thieves in disguise, Pierre himself is arrested for the murders and Christopher disappears from London, on the search for Thomas's real father.  The past is a shadowed hallway where every door opens onto another and every love divides the heart. Will the three ever see each other again?
