Resumen del Editor

"A breathless adventure both starry-eyed and cool-blooded, both charming and diabolical." (A.J. Finn, number one New York Times best-selling author of The Woman in the Window)

"Crackling with full-throttle tension.... An electrifying novel." (Robert Crais, author of the best-selling Elvis Cole novels)

An epic Vegas heist. A high-octane international romance. A charismatic thief forced to orchestrate one final, treacherous job to save his family.

When Alex Cassidy and Diane Alison meet at a party in Princeton, New Jersey, the chemistry between them is instant and undeniable. She's a single mother, local fixture, and owner of a successful catering company. He's a single father and weekend homeowner - and leader of an armed-robbery crew that just pulled off a record-breaking precision jewel heist in Las Vegas. Neither one realizes that their lives have overlapped before and that the shared history they uncover will threaten everyone they love.

Swept up in their burgeoning relationship, Diane joins Alex at his beach house in Tulum, where Alex decides to leave his life of crime behind. It begins as a postcard-perfect weekend until an entanglement with a powerful cartel forces Alex to mastermind one final and unthinkably dangerous job. What ensues is an explosive, adrenaline-soaked journey through the moneyed landscapes of Mexico and Europe, where ghosts from the past collide with unexpected perils in the present. As Alex and Diane fight for their lives, they discover that they're not the only ones with secrets - and that those closest to us pose the greatest danger of all.

Propulsive, deeply suspenseful, and layered with mesmerizing twists, Love and Theft is a sophisticated thriller about the illusion of control and the high price of past transgressions.

Loved listening to this book!

It was exciting and terrific plot. Wasn’t bored for a minute and was sorry it ended

Moral ambiguity with a sort of happy ending

It's a curiously absorbing story with a highly unlikely premise and more unlikely conclusion. Still, worth a listen. Solid neo- noir.

At the top of my list of favorites

Truly one of the best with books I’ve ever read. Deep character development, exciting locations, suspenseful dramatic exciting and romantic. I highly recommend this read. I am very much looking forward to the inevitable film or films that come from this thriller. Hats off to the author and publisher!.

Love & Theft

Love & Theft, by far, bar none, the best book I’ve read in years, Descriptive above all, so visually appealing everything else just floated away, I’m so inthralled by Alex that I question who’s beside me in the supermarket or at the coffee shop, Love Love Love this book....
Thank You Stan Parish, I very much look forward to my next read by You....
Thank you...

Excellent

I read and listen to a lot of books but review very few. This book was a complete surprise. Tight, well-paced and conceived, I loved the story. A heist tale is easy, making it this good is near impossible.

Good story but not so good narrated

The story was good but i was disapointed by the narration. I found it clinical and not much emotion. But maybe it’s because i’m used to very good narrators….
