Description
From USA Today bestselling author Jason Kasper, an elite crew must breach an untouchable legal fortress—before a ruthless government operative closes in for good. A gripping thriller for fans of Money Heist, The Italian Job, and Heat.
Anything can be stolen. Even the truth.
The Sky Thieves didn’t go to Dubai for a score. They went to settle accounts with someone who knew too much.
They should have left it alone.
What the group uncovers pulls them back into a game they thought they’d finished playing—one built on old betrayals and protected by a power broker who made himself untouchable. Not with guns, but with laws.
The target isn’t a vault—it’s a legal fortress designed to survive raids, subpoenas, and scrutiny. To get inside it, the Sky Thieves will have to break their own rules.
But their move doesn’t go unnoticed. A government official with international reach is already closing in, unconcerned with due process—and arrest is the least of what she has in mind.
Caught between a target protected by the law and a hunter who operates outside it, the crew faces an impossible choice: how far past the line are they willing to go?
This time, there may be no walking away.
