A perfect summer escape. -Maureen Corrigan, NPR Fresh AirA twisty, enthralling heist yarn . . . loaded with the threat of a double cross any time. . . . smart and satisfying.-The New York Times, Editors' ChoiceAdrift in a sleepy coastal Massachusetts town, a man who ferries fugitives by day gets twisted up in a plot to pilfer diamonds in this Casablanca-infused heist novel.Jack might be a polished, Harvard-educated lawyer on paper, but everyone in the down-at-the-heels, if picturesque, village of Onset, Massachusetts, knows his real job: moving people on the run from powerful enemies. The family business-co-managed with his father, a retired spy-is smooth sailing, as they fill up Onsets holiday homes during the towns long, drowsy off-season and help clients shed their identities in preparation for fresh starts.But when Elena, Jacks former flame-a dedicated hustler who's no stranger to the fugitive life-makes an unexpected return to town, her arrival upends Jacks routine existence. Elena, after all, doesnt go anywhere without a scheme in mind, and it isnt long before Jack finds himself enmeshed in her latest project: intercepting millions of dollars worth of raw diamonds before theyre shipped overseas.Infusing a fast-paced plot with sharp wit and stylish prose, CrimeReads editor-in-chief Dwyer Murphy serves up an irresistible page-turner as full of heart as it is of drama.
