Publisher's Synopsis
With a Monk meets Leverage flair, Brakus is no ordinary jewelry thief. He can pick any lock, crack any safe, and foil any security system. He is quirky and a card-carrying sufferer of OCD. He is fit, handsome, and capable of Zen-like bouts of concentration. He seemingly has it all. Everything, that is, except control. Brakus goes to great lengths to satisfy the irrational and superstitious needs of his fragile psyche. Whether that means crossing a bridge repeatedly until he recites the Hail Mary properly or covering all the seams between the tiles in his motel bathroom, Brakus is at the mercy of his compulsions. To date, his penchant for neatness and organization has served him well. But things go horribly, murderously wrong when he tries to pull off the ultimate double-heist in a small tourist town nestled at the foot of the Green Mountains in Vermont. There he bumps up against the limits of his perfection-and the limitlessness of his greed. "...well-written thriller featuring a memorable main character who grows creepier by the page."--Kirkus Reviews
