Thick as Thieves by Peter Spiegelman
Carr - ex-CIA - is the reluctant leader of an elite crew planning a robbery of such extraordinary proportions that it will leave them set for life. Diamonds, money laundering, and extortion go into a timed-to-the-minute scheme that unfurls across South America, Miami and Grand Cayman Island. Carr's cohorts are seasoned pros, but they're wound drum-tight - as, months before, the man who brought them together was killed in what Carr suspects was a setup. And there are other loose ends: some of the intel they're paying for is badly inaccurate, and one of the gang - who is also Carr's lover - may have an agenda of her own. But Carr's biggest problems are yet to come, because few on his crew are what they seem to be, and even his own past may not be all he thought it was. Thick as Thieves is an ingeniously crafted and perfectly paced thriller. Peter Spiegelman's percolating prose has you scrambling to piece the puzzle together and then, when the revelation finally arrives, wondering why you even tried.
'Pure delight.. Heists, money-laundering and smart plotting ... It doesn't get any better than this" Jeffery Deaver. 'Slick, sophisticated and satisfying ... this is thriller fiction at its best' Lee Child. 'The sinisterly clandestine world of money laundering in the kind of international tax havens where no questions are ever asked is at the centre of Peter Spiegelman's highly involving new crime novel ... This is one hell of a thriller, wonderfully tense stuff, delivered with the foot-to-the pedal panache that Spiegelman has shown in such books as the award-winning Black Maps' Barry Forshaw, Daily Express. 'Thick As Thieves is an ingeniously crafted and beautifully paced thriller that carries the reader along on a tsunami of adrenaline, heart pounding and palms damp with sweat' Irish Independent. 'Thrilling in both tone and substance, these thieves will steal you away from whatever else you were doing, and leave you glad they did' Don Winslow. 'Spiegelman gives us a deep inside look at scams and scammers of various sorts, and puts a big whirling plot into motion that ultimately delivers every satisfaction it promises at the start' Daniel Woodrell. 'Good writers scoop up your world, recast it, and send it right back at you, larger than it was before ... Sounds impossible, doesn't it? It is. Yet great ones like Peter Spiegelman do it day after day, book after book' Jim Sallis.
