Review: Among Thieves - Douglas Hulick

I received this as an ER book. Among Thieves was an engrossing and fun read. 

Hulick creates a complex and well-formed world and then concentrates on the affairs of the Kin, a guild of thieves. Drothe is a 'nose' someone who collects information and passes that information on to the various gang bosses. It's a dangerous profession, especially when you stick that nose into something you don't understand.

There's mystery and mayhem, and twists and turns galore, as Drothe tries to figure out why suddenly there seems to be a target painted on his back. Just what particular bit of intel is it that is so dangerous he has Dark Princes, Upright Men and, apparently, the Emperor's enforcers on his tail?

Well written, well paced and recommended!  )
