- Synopsis
- Gambit and Jacob arrive in the London of 1891. They track down legendary thief, Adam Worth, and ask him to lead them to the current Thieves Guild. Gambit catches up with the Thieves Guild leader, his grandfather Jacques LeBeau, in the lair of Nathanial Essex (known to most of us as Mr. Sinister). Jacques takes knowledge of Essex' work to Candra in hopes that she will return to her role as benefactress of the Guild. He also wants her to release his son, Jean Luc, whom she has been holding captive. Gambit and Jacob discreetly follow.
Indexer Notes
Sven Larsen credited as research help for this segment; Adam Worth (1844-1902) is an actual historical figure and is reputed to be Arthur Conan Doyle's inspiration for Professor Moriarty; One of the last of the gentlemen thieves, he is probably most well known for stealing Gainsborough's painting "The Duchess of Devonshire" which he personally kept for 25 years before discreetly returning it to the Pinkertons; For more reading on the subject, please see "The Napoleon of Crime: The Life and Times of Adam Worth Master Thief" by Ben Macintyre.
