Thriller
A new thriller that takes us inside a hair-raising heist,
where paranoia hangs as heavy as the tropical heat, and the
only law is Murphy’s. Carr—ex-CIA—is the reluctant leader of an elite crew
planning a robbery of such extraordinary proportions that it
will leave them all 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: 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—lately, Carr’s lover—may have an agenda of her
own. Carr finds himself “working the paranoid calculus . . .
mapping the shifting landscape of who-owes-who and
who-owns-who, of loyalty, grudge, and pressure”—but his
biggest problems are yet to come: few of his crew are what
they seem to be, and even his own past will turn out to be
built on a lie. Terrifically suspenseful and psychologically complex, Thick
as Thieves is a rare, penetrating look into the
sophisticated machinations of an unparalleled crime, and
Peter Spiegelman’s most accomplished and galvanizing novel yet.
