Description
In a blue-collar Boston neighbourhood a planned robbery takes place. The men wear masks. Their guns are drawn on the pretty bank manager, Claire Keesey, who nervously recites the alarm code, and the tumblers within the huge vault fall. The timing and execution are brilliant. It could be the perfect job. A huge sum of cash is stolen, but so too is one man's heart, as Doug MacRay, the brains behind the tough, tight-knit crew of thieves, falls for Claire. But she has another admirer: FBI agent Adam Frawley, who is beginning to zero in on the gang, and for Doug, pursuing Claire may be his most dangerous act of all.
Reviews / Votes
'A terrific read. Hogan has woven a rich narrative of friendship, young love and mounting suspense' Stephen King 'Compelling ... smart, speedy and stylish - a literary pulp fiction' Jeffery Deaver 'Hogan is a superb writer, and Prince of Thieves is a grand novel peopled with believable characters in heart-wrenching scenes that throb with masterful suspense ... this is simply great fiction that should not be missed' Ed McBain 'One of the most stylish thrillers of the year' GuardianMore details
