A Self-Made Thief

A Self-Made Thief by Hulbert Footner is about cold and egoistic Heberdon and his quartet of lawyer friends as they scrutinize and share expert critique on local English criminals. Excerpt: «IN the little cardroom upstairs at the staid old Chronos Club on Gramercy Park a heated argument was going on. It was late on a night something like two years ago, and a long succession of refreshments from the bar downstairs was, without doubt, contributing to the heat.»
