In 2013, a mystery man pulled off one of the most audacious jewelry heists in history. It occurred in the south of France. To this day, the crime still hasn't been solved.
This wildly entertaining novel pieces together the clues, and imagines what might have happened...
Professional jewel thief Jack Burdette has three rules:
Never steal a score large enough to get noticed.
Never steal from someone who can hunt you down.
And never steal out of necessity.
Known to the FBI as "the Gentleman," his rules have made him the underworld's most talented thief.
But when a sudden betrayal leaves him on the brink of financial ruin, Jack is forced to break his precious rules and take on a very dangerous job-one that will pit him against the most infamous thieves from war-torn Yugoslavia. Forced into conflict with his old crew, and with the FBI closing in on his trail, it quickly becomes clear that he's dancing with the devil...and this time, he might not make it out alive.
Surrounded by enemies and unsure who he can trust, Jack must act fast before the score is snatched from his fingertips. But if he makes one wrong move, he could land himself in jail for life-and that's the best-case scenario.
Step into a thrilling heist fiction novel that's guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. Packed with high-stakes action and exhilarating suspense, A Legitimate Businessman is perfect for fans of Heat and The Old Man.
