Josh Haven

I just finished reading Josh Haven's debut thriller "Fake Money, Blue Smoke" and I'm sorry I put it off so long. I think the title was unappealing, but the writing is good and the story is action packed.
The heist--a horseback robbery of valuable artwork from a speeding Amtrak train--seems to be going perfectly, until one of the players starts to suspect he's been paid in counterfeit bills. Revenge and wealth and the concept of justice. Wonderful story although perhaps a bit too violent for some readers.

I just finished Josh Haven's debut thriller Fake Money, Blue Smoke. Such a good book! Pulse-pounding suspense, wholly original action scenes, and enough double-crosses to create whiplash. Wonderfully layered and well-written… (plus d'informations)

Matt has been released from prison and his ex-girlfriend, one he hasn’t seen in years, has picked him up. He thinks it is because she has finally decided she can’t live without him. But, this is not the case. She has a money laundering project and she needs his help. So much for going straight and clean. Matt immediately jumps back into the fire.

This is more of a 3 and 1/2 stars…you round up right! So that’s what I did. This book is a slow burn and I am not a big fan of that type of book. It did get intense and it sure did get physical, it was just a bit late in the story. The plot of the counterfeit scheme and the stolen art is very unique, in my opinion. I enjoyed all the intricate planning surrounding this undercover operation. It definitely takes some smarts to pull this off…too bad the bad guys didn’t actually pull it off without a hitch!

Now, I am not going to lie, but Matt with that sword…that would be something I would like to see on the big screen. You will have to read this to find out!
