Reviews
"Riveting. . . . There's no dearth of heart-pounding, pulse-racing, stomach-dropping moments. . . . [An] intelligently structured thriller." - The Wall Street Journal "Slick, sophisticated, and satisfying. . . . This is thriller fiction at its best." -Lee Child "Spiegelman's ability to find glimmers of morality in a story populated by rogues, thieves and worse people that makes Thick as Thieves an enjoyable visit to a dark world." - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "A pure delight. . . . Heists, money-laundering, and smart plotting in a novel that's reminiscent of Elmore Leonard's best work." -Jeffery Deaver "Spiegelman, who has written three thrillers since leaving Wall Street nine years ago, is being acclaimed for bringing some of the hands-on expertise and literary grace that John LeCarre brought to espionage novels to stories of capers, heists and double crosses." - Weekend Edition , NPR " Thick as Thieves takes the suspense of a typical heist caper and ratchets it up several notches. . . . An elegant feat of fictional engineering." - The Columbus Dispatch "A thriller so nicely written you flip back a few pages to re-experience an especially well-turned bit of prose." - Booklist " Thick as Thieves is anything but 'thick'--its sleek and subtle, with Spiegelman's rare eye for the telling detail. Thrilling in both tone and substance, these thieves will steal you away from whatever else you were doing, and leave you glad they did." -Don Winslow, author of Savages "What really sets this apart is the quality of Spiegelman's writing. . . . It's not every day genre prose gets that kind of polish." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) " Thick as Thieves is part magic, part alchemy and utterly entertaining. It is what all thrillers should aspire to be, and Spiegelman is that rare writer with both the heart and talent to pull off such an ambitious undertaking." -Reed Farrel Coleman, three-time Shamus Award-winning author of Innocent Monster " Thick as Thieves showcases the further development of Peter Spiegelman, one of our best writers of suspense and intrigue. His characters are forceful, smart, and his prose is supple, precise, and often poetic. Spiegelman gives us a deep inside look at scams and scammers of various sorts, and puts a big whirling plot into motion that ultimately delivers every satisfaction it promises at the start." -Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter's Bone, "Slick, sophisticated, and satisfying . . . this is thriller fiction at its best." -Lee Child, author of Worth Dying For " Thick as Thieves is a pure delight. Carr is one of the most compelling protagonists in recent memory and there's not a moment's rest as the action speeds along like a getaway car. Heists, money-laundering, and smart plotting in a novel that's reminiscent of Elmore Leonard's best work . . . it doesn't get any better than this." -Jeffery Deaver, author of The Burning Wire " Thick as Thieves showcases the further development of Peter Spiegelman, one of our best writers of suspense and intrigue. His characters are forceful, smart, and his prose is supple, precise, and often poetic. Spiegelman gives us a deep inside look at scams and scammers of various sorts, and puts a big whirling plot into motion that ultimately delivers every satisfaction it promises at the start." -Daniel Woodrell, author of Winter's Bone " Thick as Thieves is anything but 'thick'-it's sleek and subtle, with Spiegelman's rare eye for the telling detail. Thrilling in both tone and substance, these thieves will steal you away from whatever else you were doing, and leave you glad they did." -Don Winslow, author of Savages "Ever read a thriller so nicely written you flip back a few pages to re-experience an especially well-turned bit of prose? Spiegelman's caper novel is like that . . . The fine writing adds a layer of aesthetic pleasure to a good crime story . . . [The crew] brings off a sweeping symphony of a con, a grand attempt to relieve a bad guy of his gazillions . . . The ending is great, but it's an even greater trip getting there." - Booklist (starred) "Peter Spiegelman's Thick as Thieves is vivid and intense story telling at its best! Crackling dialogue, double-crossing characters, and terrific plot twists make Thieves a winner. Who are the bad guys in this spell-binding tale of lies, big bucks, computer crime, and murder? Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! What an ending! Wow!" -Edna Buchanan, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of The Corpse Had a Familiar Face, Legally Dead, and A Dark and Lonely Place "Superlative prose lifts this gritty stand-alone from Shamus Awardwinner Spiegelman . . . Spiegelman, who has worked in both financial services and software industries, makes the mission both intricate and plausible." - Publishers Weekly (starred) "Good writers scoop up your world, recast it, and send it right back at you, larger than it was before . . . Sounds impossible, doesn't it? It is. Yet great ones like Peter Spiegelman do it day after day, book after book. Because they have important things to tell you." -James Sallis, author of Salt River From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis
TO Mr. Boyce FROM Tina SUBJECT Prager job PRIORITY High THE SCORE: $100 million in black money from Curtis Prager, hedge fund titan turned international criminal banker. A hard target, but a team of seasoned pros might pull it off. THE CREW CARR-- Ex-CIA. Expert planner and organizer, but a reluctant and untested leader. VALERIE --Chameleon, honey trap, master manipulator, and lately, Carr's lover. Has an agenda of her own--maybe more than one. LATIN MIKE --Safecracker, muscle, a hot-headed hardcase. Unhappy with Carr's management, but the promised payout from the Prager job has so far kept him in line. BOBBY --Surveillance and security systems, and Latin Mike's running buddy. If Mike is making his own play, Bobby's certain to be a part of it. DENNIS --Ace hacker, youngest member of the team, brilliant but gun-shy. The death of their old boss, Declan, on their last job, has left the crew tense and paranoid. The Prager job could leave them set for life if they don't self-destruct first. UPDATE A new security chief is beefing up protections around Prager's Cayman Islands front. Carr and his crew have to tighten their already punishing timetable. A nearly impossible job just got even harder., TO: Mr. Boyce FROM: Tina SUBJECT: Prager job PRIORITY: High THE SCORE: $100 million in black money from Curtis Prager, hedge fund titan turned international criminal banker.
