The Second Horseman by Kyle Mills
Brandon Vale is a brilliant career thief and though suspected was never caught - until the FBI framed him and jailed him for a crime he didn't commit. Then, one night, he is broken out of prison against his will by Richard Scanlon, the former FBI agent who put him away. Scanlon has discovered that a Ukranian crime organization is auctioning twelve nuclear warheads to the highest bidder, but he can't convince the government that the sale isn't a hoax. So he blackmails Brandon to steal the $250 million necessary from Las Vegas to take the warheads off the market. As the day of the warhead sale approaches, though, their carefully constructed plan begins to break down, and it becomes clear that someone has another plan for the warheads - a plan so terrible it would change the world forever if they are allowed to succeed ...

A fine thriller with memorable characters and enough twists to keep readers turning pages ...
