Book Synopsis: Charlestown, a historic, blue-collar Boston neighborhood, produces more bank robbers and armored car thieves than any other square mile in the world. As Chuck Hogan's new novel opens, Claire Keesey, branch manager for a Boston bank and one of an influx of professionals chipping away at Charlestown's insularity, has been taken hostage in a bank heist. Doug MacRay, the brains behind the tough, tight-knit crew of robbers, finds himself increasingly intrigued by her and conspires to introduce himself to her under "normal" circumstances. Once they meet, their attraction is undeniable—as is the danger of such a relationship. Meanwhile, frustrated by the ingenuity and ambition of the bank robbing crew, FBI Agent Adam Frawley begins to zero in on Doug and his friends—and develops greater interest in Claire. With the FBI hot on his trail, Doug imagines a life for himself away from bank robberies and Charlestown, but before he can begin that life, the crew learns there may be a way to rob Boston's famed baseball stadium, Fenway Park. It's a magnificent and utterly irresistible opportunity—but for Doug, pursuing his former hostage may be the most dangerous act of all….

We are extraordinarily pleased to share this praise from Stephen King for Chuck Hogan's Prince of Thieves:

"Prince of Thieves is a terrific read. Chuck Hogan has woven a rich narrative of friendship, young love and mounting suspense. On each season's fiction list, if you are lucky, there are one or two books that live up to the advance hype. Prince of Thieves is such a book."
-Stephen King

"Chuck Hogan is a superb writer, and his Prince of Thieves is a grand novel peopled with believable characters in heart-wrenching scenes that throb with masterful suspense. More than a crime novel, this is simply great fiction that should not be missed."
-Ed McBain

"What a compelling read! Hogan's Prince of Thieves is smart, speedy and stylish-a literary Pulp Fiction."
-Jeffrey Deaver
