Safecracker

WHEN ELITE SAFECRACKER DUKE DUCAINE TAKES A JOB BREAKING INTO AN UNBREAKABLE SAFE, HE DISCOVERS SOME THINGS ARE BEST LEFT UNOPENED …

Grantchester “Duke” Ducaine and his sister, Ginny, were raised to be thieves, by a master thief. Instead of spending their childhood with toys and bikes, it was lockpicks and Glocks. Now Duke is alone, adrift, and out of the life. His dad is serving time, and he doesn’t like to think
about what happened to Ginny. He spends his days haunting the streets of Los Angeles, busting civilian safes for enough cash to keep him one step ahead of the bookies breathing down his neck.

When he’s approached by two government agents with an impossible, history-making heist; a mysterious agenda; and an offer that’s too good to be true, that old feeling begins to creep in. But does Duke still have what it takes to make it in the cold world he was raised in?

A taut, whip-smart debut, this deeply inhabited dive into the criminal nether-world unfurls with surprising heart.
