The Gentlemen Thieves was the third and final story in the audio anthology The Casebook of Paternoster Row, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by Lauren Mooney and Stewart Pringle and featured Neve McIntosh as Madame Vastra, Catrin Stewart as Jenny Flint and Dan Starkey as Strax.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Madame Vastra reviews the case of a 'one-man crime wave' - break-ins and burglaries, committed by the same handsome and daring thief, even when they were committed at exactly the same time.
Unravelling the secrets of these doppelganger ne’er-do-wells, the Gang touch on the fringe of a bigger conspiracy. But as Vastra recalls the past, the dangers of the present are closing in.
