About this listen

A professional thief takes the chance of a lifetime when he agrees to mastermind the raid of a tech billionaire’s secret bunker in this action-packed heist thriller set in the heart of contemporary Los Angeles, from master of West Coast noir Gary Phillips. Perfect for fans of Sara Paretsky and Michael Connelly.

After years of close calls, O’Conner—the former “Warlord of Willow Ridge”—spends most of his time in semi-retirement, running his legitimate businesses and playing pickleball. Except for his longtime girlfriend, no one in his middle-class subdivision is the wiser to his double-life.

But O’Conner’s past refuses to stay dead, and when he's approached with a job he can’t resist, he agrees to mastermind his biggest score yet: a multi-million-dollar raid of a tech billionaire’s secret bunker, which is hidden beneath his newly constructed basketball arena. As the job goes down, testing O’Conner’s mettle with unexpected challenges, the promise of the score attracts ghosts from his past that he thought were long buried.

Interwoven with flashbacks to O’Conner’s coming-of-age in Los Angeles, this pulse-pounding thriller is both an homage to Donald Westlake’s Parker series and a rich portrait of a morally gray thief at a crossroads.©2026 Gary Phillips (P)2026 Recorded Books
