England 1716, Christopher Templeton, lawyer to the Fellowship, has gone missing and Colonel Charter of the Company of Rogues has tasked Jonas Flynt with finding him. This will take Jonas across London and eventually to a small northern town near the Scottish border with a very bad reputation. But Jonas begins to sense that someone is following him, someone who has no intention of letting him live long enough to complete his task.
A Grave for a Thief is the third historical thriller in the Company of Rogues series by Douglas Skelton and it is an extremely compelling read. Skelton is a deft hand at description, making the time period come to life. He is especially good at recreating the language of the time without allowing modernisms to slip in. There is plenty of action and interesting characters and it moves at a brisk pace, keeping my attention throughout. Although there are references to past books, it can, I believe, be read as a standalone. Overall, a very satisfying read.

I received an arc of this book from Netgalley and Canelo in exchange for an honest review. ( )
