Dean Jobb’s next true crime book, A Gentleman and a Thief, coming from Algonquin Books in June 2024, is the rollicking story of a Jazz Age jewel thief who charmed New York’s elite and looted gems worth millions from their posh estates. He is the author of The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream, winner of the inaugural CrimeCon CLUE Award for True Crime Book of the Year, and Empire of Deception, the story of a brazen 1920s con man that Esquire magazine proclaimed one of the best biographies of all time. Dean writes a monthly column on true crime for Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine and teaches in the MFA in Creative Nonfiction program at the University of King’s College in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
