The Helicopter Heist by Jonas Bonnier
A RACE AGAINST TIME TO PULL OFF THE ULTIMATE HEIST. A gripping thriller perfect for fans of Lee Child and Harlan Coben, and based on an incredible true story *Soon to be a major Netflix feature starring Jake Gyllenhaal* Four men gather in Stockholm. Each has existed on the fringes of Stockholm society. Each has a past that just won't let them go. Then a plan falls into their laps. A plan to steal millions from the largest cash facility in Sweden. At first the scheme seems foolproof, every contingency covered, every detail planned perfectly. But is everyone involved who they say they are? Can they ever really hope to pull off such an extraordinary crime? A gripping and thought-provoking thriller based on an incredible real life theft, THE HELICOPTER HEIST will take hold of you and not let you go until the final page has been turned.
Writing a thriller based on a true story is always particularly toughInstilling enough drama while staying true to the original is a thin line, which Bonnier negotiates with skill and elan. It's difficult to know what parts are fact and which are fiction, and many readers will find themselves so dragged in by his characterisation that they will find themselves hoping the robbery succeeds. As a reminder that life can sometimes be every bit as engaging as art, the tension building up to the attempt and the robbery itself is nail-biting in its suspense. Full of drama, tension and with a really compelling plot, The Helicopter Heist is a truly riveting read that will go down well with non-fiction and fiction readers alike - and the fabulous twist at the end is not only unsuspected but also fits perfectly into the plot * Crime Review *
