About the Book
An ambitious young tailor, Christian Kasebier, flees his father's business in search of a better life. As his dramatic journey unfolds, he becomes the King of Thieves, aka Prussian Robin Hood, the cunning leader of a band of highwaymen. His rise to power, fame and fortune eventually comes to an end when he's sentenced to life in prison, however, after a remarkable turn of events, he is freed but at a cost. Frederick the Great, King of Prussia, is embroiled in a war with Austria and needs the resourceful master thief to infiltrate the besieged city of Prague before Austrian support troops arrive. The King offers the legendary master of disguise a full pardon in exchange for spying on the Austrians but Christian soon discovers his King has no interest in keeping his word. What ensues is a battle of wits and survival in Kevin Casebier's debut novel.

The fascinating story of Christian Kasebier was discovered through years of family genealogical research. Kevin has traveled extensively throughout Europe, learning about its history, and walking the paths of the characters. He lives and works out of his home in Atlanta, Georgia and Seagrove Beach, Florida with his wife Stacey and their Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

About the Series
Georgia’s deep pool of international expertise is sometimes hidden in the ivory towers of academia or overshadowed by looming national figures. Sought-after thought leaders sometimes shine globally while being ignored in their own backyard.
With Authors Amplified, a monthly series of book talks open to subscribers and the public, Global Atlanta showcases authoritative local voices in foreign affairs and international business while highlighting the state’s intellectual contributions to important global conversations.
The Authors Amplified series is presented by the Atlanta Global Studies Center (AGSC), a partnership of Georgia Institute of Technology and Georgia State University, funded in part by a US Department of Education Title VI National Resource Center grant, with a mission to empower the metro region’s global agenda.
*In-person registration is limited to a capacity of 12 people.
