From New York Times bestselling author Thomas Perry comes a
whip-smart and lethally paced standalone novel, Forty Thieves. Sid
and Ronnie Abel are a husband-and-wife detective team, both
ex-LAPD. Ed and Nicole Hoyt are assassins-for-hire living in the
San Fernando Valley. Except for deadly aim with a handgun, the two
couples have little in common--until both are hired to do damage
control on the same murder case. The previous spring, a body was
recovered from a storm sewer after two days of torrential rain. The
corpse was identified as James Ballantine, a middle-aged African
American who worked as a research scientist and was killed by two
bullets to the back of the head. With the murder case turning cold,
Ballantine's former employers bring in the Abels to succeed where
the police have failed, while the Hoyts' mysterious contractors
want to make sure that the facts about Ballantine's death stay
hidden. Dramatic car chases, illicit affairs, and a notorious ring
of Eastern European diamond thieves all play into the plot as the
book races toward its high-octane climax, and the Abels circle ever
closer to the dangerous truth.
