For a thrilling read, pick up Impossible Thing by Belinda Bauer, a British crime novel brimming with skulduggery and suspense. This gripping mystery spans from a 1926 cliffside theft to a present-day heist.
A summer's evening in 1926, and six-year-old Celie Shepherd is hungry, desperate and dangling from a cliff, as she stretches out to steal something impossible. The bold theft will change Celie's life, and the lives of many others.
One hundred years later, a remote home is ransacked by masked men. The only thing taken: a dusty box containing that same impossible thing. What could be so unique - and so valuable - that it is stolen again and again . . . and again?
