I figured the source material would be as good. It was but I will warn you. It is an extremely moody and sad piece. I feel terrible upon finishing it. ( ) I would've probably liked it more if I managed to sympathise with the protagonist but I can't. Not sure it's the author's fault. To be fair I have the same issue with other crime stories. Otherwise I liked the writing, down to earth like the characters and the plot, even if straining credulity does have a pretty neat conceit. I have no idea what prompted me to read this book - I forget now where I got the recommendation - but I am forever grateful. Hogan is a new auhor to me and I'm delighted to add him to the mix. He has a fine touch - especially with dialogue. Claire is a bank manager who is being stalked by Doug, the lead of a team of bank robbers. They successfully rob Claire's bank but he can't get her out of his mind so his stalking continues. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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.
