The Shadow by Shelley Munro.Click here for a Blurb about this story from the author's website.
The Shadow is a great romantic suspense. The heroine is a cat burglar in training (in and around contemporary London), and the hero is a cop (from New Zealand). I love stories about cat burglars and jewel thieves.
And, I do so love those antipodean heros. I had this picture of Russell Crowe in mind during the reading of this book. (I know that is the wrong country! But, what can I say? I'm a RC fan and I got the image going from the author's descriptions, and it stuck.)
I'll admit that I had get out my dictionary to be certain what the author meant by the hero's "antipodean drawl". I guessed it had something to do with New Zealand, but we don't use the term Antipodes here in the US often. According to wikipedia, the term is sometimes used in Britain to describe people of Australia and New Zealand.
I think of the part of the globe that is diametrically opposed to me as China. I was writing about digging holes to China and the Dodge Nitro commercial in this post.
