Once a Thief

One of the NY Post's best books of the week

“Riske paints his characters in broad strokes, much in the manner of Ian Fleming in the Bond novels, giving us the big picture and letting us fill in the small details from our imaginations. In fact, comparison to the Bond novels is apt in many ways: the dashing spy, the snappy dialogue, the glamorous locales (in this case, Corsica, the French Alps, and Switzerland, among others). An entertaining escapist adventure.”—Booklist

"Once a Thief is a good read and moves at a good clip. Reich’s readers who are fans of his previous Simon Riske books will enjoy this one and will look forward to Riske’s next adventure"—NY Journal of Books

"The exotic locales and plot twists, not to mention enough action to keep you turning each page, make Once A Thief an enjoyable experience."—BookReporter

“Heart-pounding…Reich combines great action with surprises readers won’t see coming. One doesn’t have to care much about cars or high finance to enjoy this cinematic thriller.”—Publishers Weekly

“Intricately plotted”—Kirkus Reviews

Praise for Chris Reich, and the Simon Riske series!—`

"An out-of-control joyride for those who like their heroes flawed, scarred, and on the edge. Reich has created an irresistible character that will leave readers both wincing and cheering with every page."

—Kyle Mills, #1 bestselling author of Fade and Rising Phoenix

"It's To Catch a Thief meets Jason Bourne: a stylish, jet-propelled thriller full of intriguing characters and surprising twists. Simon Riske is a character I'll want to meet again."
 —Jeff Abbott, New York Times bestselling author of Blame

"Likable, rascally, and suave, Riske is as distinctive as Reich's other series lead, Jonathan Ransom."

—Publishers Weekly
