Book Reviews of Prince of Thieves: A Novel
Book Review: Not a happy book, but one with meaningful insight into the criminal life style
Summary: 5 Stars
The premise here is that one is often born into the criminal lifestyle rather than deliberately choosing it. The main character here is given motivation through his growing love for the bank manager victim of a robbery staged by him and his three friends and one is caught up in his inward struggle between continuing such a life or reforming through his love for her.This is extreme Bostonish in its background and is bound to especially captivate those familiar with the city. The character, Dougie, isn't a strongly sympathetic character, and this is in its way, a strength of the book because he is realistically portrayed. Highly recommended.
Summary of Prince of Thieves: A Novel
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.
