Publisher Description
The Devil's Share continues Wallace Stroby's thrilling series
It's been a year since professional thief Crissa Stone last pulled a job, and she's spent that time under the radar, very carefully not drawing attention to herself. That kind of life is safe, but it's boring, and it's lonely, and it's not very lucrative. So when Crissa starts to get antsy—and low on funds—she agrees to act as a thief-for-hire, partnering with a wealthy art collector to steal a truckload of plundered Iraqi artifacts before they're repatriated to their native country. But what's supposed to be a "give-up" robbery with few complications quickly turns deadly. Soon Crissa is on the run again, with both an ex-military hit squad and her own partners-in-crime in pursuit. And what should be the easiest job of her career—robbing a man who wants to be robbed—might just turn out to be the most dangerous.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Stroby's razor-sharp third Crissa Stone novel (after 2013's Shoot the Woman First) takes the no-nonsense professional thief to L.A., to meet wealthy art collector Emile Cota. Cota has been asked to return priceless antiquities to their place of origin, but he has a buyer lined up and wants Crissa to "steal" them so that he can make the sale instead of returning them. In spite of careful planning, things go horrifically wrong, and Crissa finds herself on the run from Cota's enforcer and even from her own team members. Crissa must go on the offensive to protect herself and a trusted friend from a sociopath who has no qualms about lethally tying up loose ends. We get small glimpses into Crissa's fraught personal life, but she never lets it affect her work; she is a force to be reckoned with in this cinematic thriller, which wastes no words and packs a huge punch.
