The Good Thief's Guide to Amsterdam by Chris Ewan
Charlie Howard doesn't just write books about a career thief, he also happens to be one. In Amsterdam working on his latest novel, Charlie is approached by a mysterious American who asks him to steal two apparently worthless monkey figurines from two separate addresses on the same night. At first he says no. Then he changes his mind. Only later, kidnapped and bound to a chair, the American very dead and a spell in police custody behind him, does Charlie begin to realise how costly a mistake he might have made. The police think he killed the American. Others think he knows the whereabouts of the elusive third monkey. But for Charlie only three things matter: Can he clear his name? Can he get away with the haul of a lifetime? And, can he solve the briefcase-shaped plot-hole in his latest novel?
Born in Taunton in 1976, Chris Ewan now lives on the Isle of Man, where he works as a lawyer. This is his first novel but he is already well into the writing of the sequel, The Good Thief's Guide to Paris. Visit the author's website @ www.thegoodthief.co.uk
