The Saint of Thieves - Paperback

by Dana Haynes (Author)

St. Nicholas Salvage & Wrecking, a largely illegal bounty hunting operation, tracks down the worst of the worst criminals for the presiding judge of the International Criminal Court. In this action-packed international thriller, will the hunters become the hunted?

Michael Finnegan might be off the NYPD but he's still a by-the-book kind of guy. By contrast, Katalin Fiero Dahar--ex-soldier and assassin extraordinaire--makes her own rules. Yet their partnership works magnificently. St. Nicholas Salvage & Wrecking--their high-flying international bounty hunting business--has nabbed some of the world's most sought-after and heinous criminals.

When Michael gets a panicked call that Sally Blue is in trouble, he and Katalin head to Rome to help. Sally's a friend, and her outfit of thieves, the Black Harts, have proved themselves invaluable to St. Nicholas on numerous ops in the past.

During a daring rescue in a shadowy Roman plaza, Michael recognizes Bobby McCool, a stone-cold killer, aider and abettor of a notorious drug lord. McCool was also once the partner of Michael's disgraced father, police detective Patrick Finnegan, now under house arrest in New York. Nabbing McCool would not only make the world a safer place, it might help Patrick Finnegan's legal woes.

Saving Sally gets more complicated by the minute, for she's set her larcenous sights on astronomically valuable goods. The stakes are high, but the crew from St. Nicholas aims higher, seeking to bring justice to these murderous criminals and their genocidal leader.

Taking a fast-paced, twisty tour down Europe's most luxurious streets and terrifying back alleys, The Saint of Thieves delivers nonstop action with stylish wit and razor-sharp smarts.
