The Four Hundred

The Four Hundred is the story of that resolve--of four young Americans who invent a daring scheme to take the impregnable Bank of England for £400,000--a veritable fortune in those days. For it is the time of which Charles Dickens wrote, and the place is his London, teeming center of the civilized world, heart of the great Empire, home of the Bank of England.

The Four Hundred tells of women to match these men. 

Add to these a superb supporting cast. 

Drawing on history itself--for the great crime against the Bank of England actually did occur--and on a marvelous gift for the dramatic, Stephen Sheppard has fashioned a novel that will captivate readers of every sort.
