"The Four Hundred" begins in the post-Civil War era of America and is the tale of four ambitious men, each with his own story to tell, who hatch a plot to rob the most powerful bank in the world, the Bank of England. The story unfolds and reveals itself through the eyes of each man. Along the way, the young Americans encounter romance, intrigue, and just a little action while keeping just one step ahead of the law. This book captured me from the first page and I shall always keep it among my "treasures!"
