Caught Stealing
A kind-hearted baseball player-turned bartender runs afoul of some dangerous thugs looking for the key to a hidden fortune, in this "frighteningly assured debut novel" (John Ridley, author of "Stray Dogs") by screenwriter Charlie Huston.
A retired baseball player finds himself fighting for his life in this fantastically hopped-up thriller with a wrong-man plot worthy of Hitchcock (Entertainment Weekly, Editor's Choice).
Wow! Brutal, visceral, violent, edgy, and brilliant. - Harlan Coben
A brilliant storyteller. - Stephen King
In development as a major motion picture starring Austin Butler and directed by Darren Aronofsky.
Henry "call me Hank" Thompson used to play California baseball. Now he tends to a bar on Manhattan's Lower East Side. When two Russians in tracksuits beat Hank to a pulp, he gets the clueβsomeone wants something from him. He just doesn't know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesn't have it.
Within twenty-four hours, Hank is running over rooftops, playing hide-and-seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor. All because of some Russian hoods and a flat-out freakshow of goons. All because once, in another life, the only thing Hank wanted to steal was third baseβwithout getting caught.
Henry "Hank" Thompson's thrilling adventures continue:
