Part crime solver, part crime causer, the cunning heiress Cassidy Cain uses her privilege and wits for those without her advantages as The Grandmaster of Theft.
Under normal circumstances, she chooses her marks. This time, the target – the obnoxious celebrity Narcissa Richmond – challenges her to steal a religious relic aboard a train. Nevertheless, Cassidy sees this as an opportunity for her most spectacular caper yet.
As Cassidy delves deeper into the job, she uncovers a conspiracy centered around her capture. With criminals and investigators alike targeting her, she must stay one step ahead of them all or else lose the relic, her reputation, and her life.
In a world of webstories, reigned by isekai's heroes, transmigrators and litrpg/prog fantasy heroes, it is no often that one comes across a protagonist who relies on brains than brawns. Cassidy Cain is one such Hero.
The story, despite its unconventional premise, is engaging. The MC is a noble thief with principles and boundaries she would not cross, but her personal beliefs are constantly tested. The heat is slowly turned on her personal life, her love life and her moonlighting as the Noble thief starts to collide and the untouchable boundary separating the three blurred. The MC outwits most of her opponents through cunning crafted arguments than with special powers or OP skills. The author had either studied psychology or negotiation tactics or perhaps trained in a similar field, since their knowledge and expertise is clearly shown in the exposure. A gentleman thief is one of the few genres that most authors, even tradpub authors, do not touch and kudos to the author for handling the story. Sufficient to say, greatly looking forward to the book 2.
