NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF A SPY AMONG FRIENDS

He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson.
He is the organizer of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city.
He is a genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinker. . . .

--Sherlock Holmes on Professor Moriarty in "The Final Problem"

The Victorian era's most infamous thief, Adam Worth was the original Napoleon of crime. Suave, cunning Worth learned early that the best way to succeed was to steal. And steal he did.

Following a strict code of honor, Worth won the respect of Victorian society. He also aroused its fear by becoming a chilling phantom, mingling undetected with the upper classes, whose valuables he brazenly stole. His most celebrated heist: Gainsborough's grand portrait of the Duchess of Devonshire--ancestor of Diana, Princess of Wales--a painting Worth adored and often slept with for twenty years.

With a brilliant gang that included "Piano" Charley, a jewel thief, train robber, and playboy, and "the Scratch" Becker, master forger, Worth secretly ran operations from New York to London, Paris, and South Africa--until betrayal and a Pinkerton man finally brought him down.

In a decadent age, Worth was an icon. His biography is a grand, dazzling tour into the gaslit underworld of the last century. . . and into the doomed genius of a criminal mastermind.

Great Product.
Color: Dark Blue, Size: 6.4-Quart - Deep
This is a great size, great value, holds heat. Made double recipe of Mac and cheese in it - brought it to a party and Mac and cheese was still warm. In glass it would have needed to be reheated. Also- looks awesome in my kitchen.

Heats evenly, quick clean up.
Color: Teal, Size: 6.4-Quart - Deep
Very heavy and well-made, heats evenly and cleans up in a snap, no scouring necessary. I’ve cooked everything from stewed chicken to etouffee and risotto, all dishes came out well.

Great choice. Choose medium to small sizes for easy maneuver
Color: Cream, Size: 7.3-Quart - Deep
Love this Dutch oven. I bought a cream one. I recommend a dark color: it may be easy to clean, but it may retain some foods colors. I recommend a medium sized oven. I have the big one and it is too heavy to carry on and when using for baking, it can be tricky. I made stew and chunk roast beef and worked good. I would recommend a medium size for good handling. Also because smaller sizes may be easier to use in electric stoves as the glass can get damaged.

Beautiful pot
Color: Blue, Size: 6.4-Quart - Deep
I was a little bit skeptical buying a large Dutch oven at this price point, when the well known brand (that I won't name here) sell for at least 5x the cost. Ive never owned one at all, so unable to compare apples to apples. - Color and finish look great. Even better in person than the photos. - Its hefty. I was expecting it to be heavy, since last iron, but it feels like it is robust. - Cooking with it has been great so far - sauté veggies, add liquid and rice for fantastic Spanish rice. Some stirring needed to avoid sticking, but comparable to my non stick pans or better. The heavy mass of the Dutch oven dissipates heat more evenly. - The handles get pretty warm / hot during use even on stove top. Thats probably normal, since the pot and two handles are one continuous piece. Not a big deal. The small handle on lid stays night and cool. - Overall, this feels like a great purchase and will replace a lot of duties I was using various pans for. Time will tell how the durability is.
