The moment Iâ??d scanned the outside of the building, I turned to Bruno and said, â??First impressions, it looks straightforward.â? Looking back, I canâ??t help but wonder what I was thinking. I mean, put that line at the opening of a crime novel and itâ??s practically a guarantee that everything is about to get complicated.Charlie Howardâ??globe-trotting mystery writer, professional thief, and poor decision makerâ??is in Paris. Flush with the success of his latest book reading, not to mention a few too many glasses of wine, Charlie agrees to show a complete novice how to break into an apartment in the Marais. Fast-forward twenty-four hours and Charlieâ??s hired to steal an ordinary-looking oil paintingâ??from the exact same address.Mere coincidence? Charlie figures thereâ??s no harm in finding outâ??until a dead body turns up in his living room and he finds himself evading the law while becoming caught up in a quite outrageous heist. And thatâ??s before Charlieâ??s literary agent, Victoria (whoâ??s naive enough to assume that he looks like his author photo), finally decides they should meet face-to-face.Nobody ever said a life of suspense was easy, but Charlie, the most disarmingly charming burglar since Cary Grant, soon finds things are getting way out of control.Read More
