A Gentleman of Leisure
by P. G. Wodehouse
“Breaking in was the easy part—it's the getting out that's the real crime.”
When a bored British gentleman bets his friends he can successfully burgle a New York mansion, he stumbles into far more than stolen silver. This classic Wodehouse romp blends high-stakes mischief with high-society romance as a simple wager spirals into a hilarious web of mistaken identities and unexpected family secrets.
