The Fourth Rule

A Novel

By: Jeff Lindsay

Narrated by: Jeff Lindsay

THE BIGGEST HEIST.
THE MOST DANGEROUS ADVERSARY.
FROM THE MASTER OF THE GENRE.
OH, AND EXPLOSIONS.

Impossible doesn’t belong in Riley Wolfe’s vocabulary. He’s a master of heists and disguises, whose life's work is swindling the rich out of their undeserved treasures.

Now rumors surrounding a dangerous new figure of international crime are spreading through the underworld. And this ruthless collector, the Cobra, has a personal vendetta against Riley . . .

No matter—with the aid of his new partner, Caitlin, Riley prepares to take on the most powerful cultural institution in the world and bring home the supposedly unstealable Rosetta Stone. With the Cobra waiting for the right moment to strike, Riley is put to the ultimate test as he faces this most venomous villain—and tries to make it out alive.

Packed with Jeff Lindsay’s trademark style of intricately plotted twists, stunning global settings, and thrilling action, The Fourth Rule is a relentlessly suspenseful and delicious escapist thriller that will leave you shocked, breathless, and endlessly entertained.

Critic reviews

One of Book Page's "Nine Mysteries and Thrillers We Can't Wait to Read

“Jeff Lindsay…throws quite a nice twist into the finale that will have readers’ heads spinning." —BookReporter

"The Fourth Rule offers up a tasty combination plate of humor, deception, suspense and villainy – and that is just on the part of the protagonist. Wait until you meet the villain(s).” —Book Page

“Bestseller Lindsay ratchets up the stakes for master thief Riley Wolfe in his nail-biting fourth thriller featuring the charismatic antihero…Series fans will be captivated.” —Publishers Weekly

“Riley is entirely unique, and entirely captivating. This series has the potential to be as successful as the Dexter series, as readers continue to discover it. Here’s hoping it continues to many more books.” —Booklist

"Do you love the Mission: Impossible movies? Do you wish that they starred characters with . . . more flexible senses of morality? Then hie thee to Jeff Lindsay’s Riley Wolfe series. The thrillers starring the dashing thief (Just Watch Me, Fool Me Twice and Three-Edged Sword) are delightful globe-trotting adventures that provide plenty of escapist fun while never talking down to their audience, just like Tom Cruise’s joyously go-for-broke action blockbusters." —Book Page

Not his best Riley novel

from the outset, it was really obvious how this was going to go. Too much "...because I'm Riley Wolf," too much tagline. Very little depth to the characters ...seems like Lindsay phoned this one in after patching together a weak story.

Ok, but more predictable

I have enjoyed all the Riley Wolfe stories so far. Almost as much as the Dexter series. The storyline in this episode was more predictable than the others, but it was still a good listen and escape while driving. Excited to see where Mr. Lindsay takes Mr. Wolfe next.

jeff lindsay narration was Superb

I love how cocky Riley is . Can not wait to where his next adventure takes him or if he gets revenge on Cobra

Characters!!

Liked it all. Don’t read it before sleep you won’t want to stop.!!! A book you can’t put down. Start this with book 1 of series.

Very Entertaining Series!!!!

This is the fourth book in the Riley Wolfe series. I really enjoy the series and look forward to each new addition. Written by Jeff Lindsay who is also the author of the Dexter series. There are no similarities between the characters except that they are both very clever and devious in their own way. Riley Wolfe is not a murderer, he’s a thief. He’s not an ordinary run of the mill thief and he doesn’t steal from the ordinary person. Wolfe steals from the ultra wealthy and generally the not so nice people. He also doesn’t just steal anything just because of its value. It has to be very valuable and considered so protected that no one would ever even attempt to steal it.

In this book Wolfe’s heart is smitten with a woman. His head isn’t really in the game and once he has his plan he misses important clues that might have told him that the job he’s planning with this woman might not be the in his best interest.

The author does an excellent job narrating his own work
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
