Jonas Flynt, a multifaceted character, is a gambler, thief, and killer who has been longlisted for the McIlvanney Prize 2023. This high-octane historical fiction novel is fast-paced and filled with a glint of gallows humor. The Daily Mail describes it as "swashbuckling action against a vivid historical backdrop."
Jonas Flynt, an ex-soldier and reluctant member of the Company of Rogues, a shady intelligence group run by ruthless spymaster Nathaniel Charters, is ordered to recover a missing document. The contents of this document could prove devastating in the wrong hands.
On her deathbed, the late Queen Anne may have promised the nation to her half-brother James, the Old Pretender, rather than the new king, George I. However, the will has been lost, and it may decide the fate of the nation. The crown must recover it at all costs.
The trail takes Jonas from the dark and dangerous streets of London to an Edinburgh in chaos. He soon realizes there are others on the hunt, and he becomes embroiled in a long overdue family reunion, a jail break, and a brutal street riot.
When secrets finally come to light, about the crown and about his own past, Jonas will learn that some truths, once discovered, can never be untold.
This atmospheric and utterly compelling blend of crime, history, and thriller will delight fans of S. J. Parris, Andrew Taylor, and C. J. Sansom. Praise for An Honourable Thief has been pouring in, with Ambrose Parry describing it as a genuine eighteenth-century spy novel and predicting a long future for Jonas Flynt.
Anyone who enjoys a good historical mystery and likes an edgy, charismatic protagonist is going to love the adventure that awaits them in the pages of An Honourable Thief.
