The Burglar: A Tale of Two Worlds In
The Burglar, a thrilling mystery that begins in the quiet suburbs of Cincinnati, Ohio, a local dentist, Dr. John Mattingly, finds his home ransacked by a thief. The only witnesses? The family dog, Max, and the cat, Penny. Ironically, much of the story is told through the eyes of these two pets, whose perspectives offer a unique and heartwarming twist.
As the home's security cameras capture part of the burglary, it's up to Max to piece together the puzzle and help bring the crook to justice. But things take an unexpected turn when the burglar's escape leads to a shocking kidnapping. In a desperate bid to flee from the authorities, the burglar takes Mattie, a local police officer, hostage. What starts as a typical crime spree soon evolves into a deeper, more personal journey. As they flee from Cincinnati to the Smoky Mountains and through the swamps of Central Florida, the burglar and Mattie uncover startling connections between them-revealing that the lines between good and bad, captor and captive, may not be as clear-cut as they once believed.
The Burglar masterfully explores two unconventional relationships: one between humans and their beloved pets, and another between an unlikely pair-the burglar and his hostage. As Max works tirelessly to identify the criminal and rescue Mattie, the story races toward an explosive conclusion, where the true nature of justice, identity, and loyalty is revealed.
A gripping mix of suspense, unexpected bonds, and surprising revelations,
The Burglar is a page-turner that will keep you hooked until the very last word.
