Issey considers himself a masterful and elegant thief. He's just as meticulous with his lockpicking tools as he is with his ankle boots and slimming turtlenecks. He's also easily confused, stupid, and maybe not so good at being a thief.
Unforeseen circumstances bring him back to his childhood town, the wonderland that is Vermont's Bell River Valley. With the holidays on the horizon, he sets his sights on the town's open doors. But just as his thieving begins, with accompanying shapewear and accessories, something unexpected happens—he falls backwards into becoming the town hero. The sudden hero role ushers in wealth, adoration, and a love interest so mysterious he hardly knows her name.
However, before he can get too cozy, an uninvited associate from his past reappears—as does every last item Issey has ever stolen.
Second Pocket First shoehorns comedy, crime, and small-town charm into this delightful romp as Issey must decide between old habits and a sudden devotion to the town's goodwill.

“In the tradition of the great comic novels, Second Pocket First presents Issey, quite possibly the world's worst burglar but nevertheless a five-finger-discount artist of cutthroat sartorial principle, innumerable maddening affectations, and a sterling code of honor, and follows his crooked path across New England as he seeks to relieve the solid citizens of its burgs and hamlets of their worldly goods, a path that will lead him to his destiny.” –Janet Peery, National Book Award Finalist
