Prince of Thieves

By: Chuck Hogan

Narrated by: Richard Ferrone

From the author of The Strain comes a tense, psychologically gripping, Hammet award-winning thriller.

Four masked men—thieves, rivals, and friends from the tough streets of Charlestown—take on a Boston bank at gunpoint. Holding bank manager Claire Keesey hostage and cleaning out the vault were simple. But career criminal Doug MacRay didn't plan on one thing: falling hard for Claire. When he tracks her down without his mask and gun, their mutual attraction is undeniable. With a tenacious FBI agent following his every move, he imagines a life away from his gritty, dangerous work—a life centered around Claire. But before that can happen, Doug and his crew learn that there may be a way to rob Boston's venerable baseball stadium, Fenway Park. Risky yet utterly irresistible, it would be the perfect heist to end his criminal career and begin a new life. But, as it turns out, pursuing Claire may be the most dangerous act of all.

Racing to an explosive climax, Prince of Thieves is a brash tale of robbery in all its forms—and an unforgettable odyssey of crime, love, ambition, and dreams.

Loved it!

I enjoyed the film, but loved the book. Living in the Boston area made this book that much more special as I knew the area they were talking about. Highly recommended!

Good one

If you're from southeastern mass like me, it's a fantastic book. Takes me back to the block

Chuck Hogan's best i

maybe because it takes place in Massachusetts is the reason I love this book so much or the speech given by the old Townie at the very beginning once it starts it takes you for a ride any fan of a great story will surely enjoy

Fast Paced Action

So Much goes into planning your life so all Might Out.... This is a great example of the chaos that take over some. It's a scarey reminder to me that this story is REALLY not far from reality!

Fast and Exciting

This book flew by with a magnificent read by Ferrone. My Boston knowledge helped visualize all the places visited and characters were real and understandable by behaviors and appearance.
