Taking Chances

About the Book

By day, Miss Annie McBride is the darling of San Francisco society. By night, Annie and her father Lou Ferrance are cat burglars, pulling off some of the most notorious jewel heists of the 1890's. But Annie's world begins to close in around her when her father is attacked and disappears. Together with his lover Lena and some friends from Chinatown's underclass, Annie is determined to continue Lou’s plans for one last big job: to rob California's most powerful entity—the Southern Pacific Railroad.
