   Summary

   Thieves aren't in the business of love - they're in the business of money, of coins clinking and shining, cold and hard. But Galinda doesn't want money - what she wants is flesh, warm and yielding under the pressure of her fingers, soft and supple and slick; tasting like salt, like sweat - like blood.

   or; Galinda is inveigled into a scheme to divest one Elphaba Thropp of her fortune. A retelling of Sarah Waters' Fingersmith starring Oz's finest.
