Summary

 From the author of The Strain comes a tense, psychologically gripping, Hammet award-winning thriller.

Four masked men—thieves, rivals, and friends from the tough streets of Charlestown—take on a Boston bank at gunpoint. Holding bank manager Claire Keesey hostage and cleaning out the vault were simple. But career criminal Doug MacRay didn't plan on one thing: falling hard for Claire. When he tracks her down without his mask and gun, their mutual attraction is undeniable. With a tenacious FBI agent following his every move, he imagines a life away from his gritty, dangerous work—a life centered around Claire. But before that can happen, Doug and his crew learn that there may be a way to rob Boston's venerable baseball stadium, Fenway Park. Risky yet utterly irresistible, it would be the perfect heist to end his criminal career and begin a new life. But, as it turns out, pursuing Claire may be the most dangerous act of all.

Racing to an explosive climax, Prince of Thieves is a brash tale of robbery in all its forms—and an unforgettable odyssey of crime, love, ambition, and dreams. Crime Thrillers Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Suspense Thriller & Suspense

Yes it is a movie calked the town snd i haven't seen it. However the book is written in a hollywood style and the narration gives it that elliott ness feel. All those things are good and i am becoming a chuck fan.
Like any good book it builds to an exciting conclusion but at the same time there are numerous ways it could have gone, so unlike many books it avoids the predictability. As a reader watching people make bad decisions adds a key element to story.
If you love a good heist with a little humanity slipped I think you will enjoy this book.

Made for movie
