A Pocketful of Lies: Collected Stories

A light-fingered drifter encounters a landless earl…

A music hall singer finds the man of her dreams in a thieves’ kitchen…

A detective is plunged into a Christmas conspiracy…

A rogue magician needs the help of a waste-paper seller…

Chaos reigns in a dark and twisted alt-Victorian London...

KJ Charles’ shorter stories are collected in print for the first time, in five tales of queer historical romance spiced with song, larceny, mayhem, magic, and defenestration (just the one, though).

Includes the stories:
A Thief in the Night
The Rat-Catcher's Daughter
Masters in this Hall
A Queer Trade
The Price of Meat
