Caught Stealing

A Novel

De: Charlie Huston

Narrado por: Jay Myers

A retired baseball player finds himself fighting for his life in this “fantastically hopped-up thriller [with] a wrong-man plot worthy of Hitchcock” (Entertainment Weekly, Editor’s Choice).

“Wow! Brutal, visceral, violent, edgy, and brilliant.”—Harlan Coben

Now a major motion picture starring Austin Butler and directed by Darren Aronofsky

Henry “call me Hank” Thompson used to play California baseball. Now he tends to a bar on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. When two Russians in tracksuits beat Hank to a pulp, he gets the clue: someone wants something from him. He just doesn’t know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesn’t have it.

Within twenty-four hours, Hank is running over rooftops, playing hide-and-seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor. All because of some Russian hoods and a flat-out freakshow of goons. All because once, in another life, the only thing Hank wanted to steal was third base—without getting caught.

Henry “Hank” Thompson’s thrilling adventures continue:
CAUGHT STEALING • SIX BAD THINGS • A DANGEROUS MAN

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Wow! Brutal, visceral, violent, edgy, and brilliant.”—Harlan Coben, author of No Second Chance

“Caught Stealing reads like The Maltese Falcon on crack. Tarantino meets Hitchcock meets Westlake meets Bukowski in a wild, relentlessly entertaining ride filled with vivid and colorful—but always believable—characters.”—Wallace Stroby, author of The Barbed-Wire Kiss

“It’s hard enough for a writer to hit his mark, but Charlie Huston shreds his target with his first bullet fired. A frighteningly assured debut novel.”—John Ridley, author of Stray Dogs and The Drift

Still a pretty good book!

I read the book years ago, fell in love with it. Jumped at the chance to listen to audio book before the movie comes out.

Excellent narrator

Great book and looking forward to book 2 in October. Really hoping the movie stays true to the book.

Much better than movie

Books are always much better than movies and this one is no different. You get to hear the actual thoughts going through the main characters head and feel their struggle. The narration is on point and kept me listening hour after hour yesterday.

Amazing Narrator

Saw the movie, decided I wanted to read the book. The narrator did an AMAZING job throughout the whole story. The story was great and kept me on edge and the narrator did a great job making the villains really stand out.

Killer book

Sick story. Hank Lives! Ready to read the sequels right f-ing now. Fuck the haters.
