"Action-packed and breath-takingly fast from start to finish. Elmore Leonard and Donald E. Westlake would have loved it!" Keith Bruton, Ned Kelly Award Winning author of The Lemon Man
A professional thief takes his girlfriend on a trip to the shore—but only to check out an easy heist he can't resist. She's had enough of his criminal life and intends to leave him. The 'easy' job goes bad fast, trapping him on an island in the midst of a deadly storm....pursued by the law and ruthless killers. He has to escape or he's going to lose the woman he loves... if he doesn't lose his life first.
"Knighton’s pulse-pounding third Nameless Thief thriller (after A Few Days Away) follows the series’ unnamed narrator as he attempts to survive a job gone wrong. Knighton’s gifts for pacing and atmosphere make his antihero’s perils leap off the page. Contemporary noir fans will devour this." Publishers Weekly
Praise for Tony Knighton
"Hard-edged contemporary noir novel with a relentless anti-hero – a thief with no name. It’s a taut, pacy tale referencing Richard Stark’s Parker novels, but with even more icy cynicism. Knighton’s thief and his unswerving, self-declared righteousness will delight pulp fans." The Crime Fiction Lover
"Taut writing, crisp dialogue, non-stop action. What more could you want?" Linwood Barclay, New York Times bestselling author
"Hard-edged and suspenseful, with action that feels real and an anti-hero who can keep all the moving parts in his mind at once." Thomas Perry, New York Times bestselling author
Genre: Mystery
