Caine's Crimes: Three Novel Set, The Gutenberg Heist, Jefferson's Ashes, Stealing Scrooge: Volume One (Q.A. Caine Mysteries)

Q.A. Caine is a Boston book dealer and member of high society with a criminal past—a former con artist whose current allegiance to the law shifts with circumstance and opportunity. This collection brings together his first three cases. In The Gutenberg Heist, Caine orchestrates an elaborate theft of a Gutenberg Bible valued at forty million dollars from a billionaire who murdered to obtain it, uncertain which side of the law he occupies. In Jefferson's Ashes, Caine becomes an unwilling investigator when a young man is murdered; to avoid becoming the prime suspect, he must identify the killer of someone who previously broke into his bookshop. In Stealing Scrooge, Caine seeks revenge when a customer requests a first edition of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol—presenting an opportunity to settle accounts with a former criminal partner who stole thousands from him and left him with only a prison sentence.
