House of Thieves

Gangs of New York meets The Age of Innocence as a society architect in 1880s Manhattan is forced to join a gritty crime ring, by the author of the bestselling The Paris Architect. John Cross values little more than his flawless professional reputation and his family's status among the elite, but when Cross's oldest son, George, racks up an unfathomable gambling debt, Cross gets pulled into the seedy underbelly of the city in an attempt to save his family's reputation--and their lives.

He graduated from the Pratt Institute and Columbia University, and he taught at Pratt as well as at Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. His area of specialty is historic preservation.
