A robbery in Scotland might not seem like an unusual background for a crime novel--until it's put into the hands of one of the U.K.'s leading satirists, Christopher Brookmyre. Now available for the first time in the U.S., The Sacred Art of Stealing is narrative catnip for fans of crime fiction laced with dark humor.

This is how the story goes: Their eyes met across a crowded room. She was just a poor servant girl and he was the son of a rich industrialist . . . Well, the eyes meeting across a crowded room part is true. Where it differs from the fairy tales is that the room in question was crowded with hostages and armed bank-robbers, and Zal Innez's eyes were the only part of him that Angelique de Xavia could see behind his mask. Angelique had enough to be fed up about before the embarrassment of being a cop taken hostage by the most bizarrely unorthodox crooks ever to set foot in Glasgow. Disillusioned, disaffected and chronically single, she's starting to take stock of the sacrifices she's made for a job that's given her back nothing but grief. So when her erstwhile captor has the chutzpah to phone her at work and ask her out on a date, Angelique finds herself in no great hurry to turn him in. She knows now that the cops will never love her back, but maybe one of the robbers will.

Super cute
Got these “pillow cases” for our bed as accessory pillows. They are so soft and the light pink is beautiful. I have the matching blanket which is amazing as well. You do have to buy pillows for the inside. Remember when buying insert pillows they should be two inches bigger than the case. For example if the case is 18” your pillow should be 20”. That ensures a full puffy look.

Excellent quality; fit may be tight
The quality of these covers is very good. The feel is soft and warm. The color is rich. They wash easily and well. My only problem is the fit. My 15” throw pillows are overstuffed, and they won’t fit in these covers. If your pillows are not overstuffed, I highly recommend these.

Really like these for the price
I was surprised when I received these because they are made better than expected. The color is accurate and they are nice and fluffy. Hidden zipper works well too. We will see how they wash when the time comes, but I usually bag items like this so should be fine.

Luxurious feel
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is soft and fuzzy. It has a little weight to it so it’s great to snuggle up on the couch with. Double lined makes it feeling luxurious. Haven’t noticed any shedding yet I’ve had it for a month and have washed it a couple times.
