Alias 'The Magpie' by J. J. Guest

Sir Rodney Playfair, gentleman thief, has a simple plan: impersonate a psychiatrist, infiltrate a country house, steal a priceless Egyptian scarab and make it back to London in time for cocktails. All in a day's work for the illustrious 'Magpie'.

Alias 'The Magpie' is a comedy crime caper featuring deception, disguises and an escaped gorilla.
