Once a Thief

About the Book

$80 million worth of diamonds.
He’s stolen them once before.
Now he’ll risk everything to steal them back.

After striking a plea deal with the FBI, jewel thief Jack Burdette settles into an honest life as a California winemaker—until his past catches up with him, and there’s no turning back.

Two years ago, Jack’s last job turned south when he was double-crossed, and he’s been smarting from the blow to his reputation ever since. Now, the culprit is back on the radar, trying to sell the stolen diamonds on the open market.

When the FBI calls him in for information on the upcoming sale, clueless about his part in the original heist, Jack knows a good opportunity when he sees it. With his network of professional con artists and well-honed skills of deception, he’ll easily play along with the investigation to locate the seller—and take back what’s rightfully his.

Jack can’t resist a chance to settle the score, but he soon learns that he’s underestimated the difficulty of the job. With the FBI breathing down his neck and dangerous people lined up as potential buyers, he’ll need to play his cards right to avoid ending up behind bars…or six feet under.
