Title: Among Thieves
Author: John Clarkson
Did I listen or read?: Library Book
When did I finish?: August 18, 2015
When was the book published: 2015
Main Characters: James Beck and his crew Manny, Demarco, a new guy Reese, computer guy Alex, Russian bad guy Markov, henchman Stepanovich, Russian ancient mobster Kolenko
What happens? Manny's sister Olivia comes to him because she was forced out of her job at a high pressure investment firm after being assaulted by the firm's top gun, Crane. She wants her life back, but doesn't want Manny to kill the guy. Beck investigates and finds out what is really going on.
How long was this? 418 pages
Did I like this? Pretty good, exciting story, constant action. Beck is like Reacher, but every fight he gets in is devastating, so it gets kind of wearing. Good writer, though, and the character angle of having honorable thieves is worth it.
Overall grade: B+
