Product Information
From Thomas Perry, the New York Times bestselling author of the Jane Whitefield series, comes a whip-smart and lethally paced standalone novel, Forty Thieves . Sid and Ronnie Abel are a first-rate husband-and-wife detective team, both retirees of the LAPD. Ed and Nicole Hoyt are married assassins-for-hire living in the San Fernando Valley. Except for deadly aim with a handgun, the two couples have little in common--until they are both hired to do damage control on the same murder case. The previous spring, after days of torrential rain, a body was recovered from one of the city's overwhelmed storm sewers. The victim was identified as James Ballantine, a middle-aged African-American who worked as a research scientist for a prestigious company and was well liked by his colleagues. But two bullets to the back of the head looked like nothing if not foul play. Now, with the case turning cold, Ballantine's former employers bring in the Abels to succeed where the police have failed, while the Hoyts' mysterious contractors want to make sure that the facts about Ballantine's death stay hidden. As the book races toward a high-octane climax, the Abels must fend for their own lives as they circle ever closer to the truth.

Reviews
Advance Praise for Forty Thieves : "Propulsive, darkly humorous . . . As the likable, series-worthy Abels struggle to survive at least long enough to solve [the] murder, Perry tosses in several hairpin plot twists that culminate in a satisfyingly surprising conclusion."-- Publishers Weekly "Sid and Ronnie, both formerly of the LAPD, are brainy, thorough, and resourceful . . . The would-be killers, Ed and Nicole Hoyt, are the kind of people Perry knows like the back of his hand: coldhearted, businesslike, and consummately successful . . . Entertaining and suspenseful."-- Kirkus Reviews Praise for Thomas Perry: "Perry keeps readers engrossed with wickedly smart protagonists . . . [He] can really write."-- San Francisco Examiner "There are probably half a dozen suspense writers now alive who can be depended upon to deliver high-voltage shocks, vivid, sympathetic characters, and compelling narrative . . . Perry is one of them."--Stephen King "Cunning strategies, clever disguises, ingenious escape tactics, and breathtaking cross-country chases. Perry delivers to order."-- New York Times Book Review , on Poison Flower "Thomas Perry's smooth, unpretentious and action-packed page-turners just keep coming . . . In an era where the outsized comic book ethos of superheroes, magic, and vengeance seemingly has sway over the entire culture, it is a relief to enjoy one of Perry's comparatively restrained adventures for smart adults."--Life Sentence, on A String of Beads, Praise for Forty Thieves : One of Booklist 's Top 10 Crime Novels of the Year "Guns are ubiquitous in Thomas Perry's breathtaking Forty Thieves , a double-barreled Southern California thriller that moves almost faster than a speeding bullet." --Tom Dolan, Wall Street Journal "Nick and Nora Charles they're not. But while Sid and Veronica Abel may be lacking in urbanity, these private investigators are no less brainy and far better marksmen. Appearing for the first time in Thomas Perry's new thriller, Forty Thieves , these former Los Angeles police detectives have been married for over 30 years and have children and grandchildren. That confers on them the wisdom of the ancients, along with the cloak of invisibility in a youth-obsessed society, which suits them just fine . . . The tips you learn in a Perry novel are priceless." --Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review "This stand-alone caper smoothly mixes high-octane thrills with comic capering, as two married couples--one a PI team, the other a hit couple for hire--spar with one another . . . until they both find themselves in the crosshairs of a lethal gang of Russian jewel thieves. Along the way to a knockout finale . . . Perry offers a master class in narrative sleight of hand . . . . Like the work of the late, great Ross Thomas--the crime writer Perry most resembles--Perry's books, whether series or stand-alone, absolutely resist easy categorization, thoroughly melding character and plot, light and dark, and totally immersing the reader in the irresistible narrative." -- Booklist (starred review) "Sardonic humor is rare in American mysteries. It is the kind of humor that creeps up on you and suddenly your reaction is a wry smile as you read the double-edged melodrama which abounds in Thomas Perry's work." -- Washington Times "Propulsive, darkly humorous . . . As the likable, series-worthy Abels struggle to survive at least long enough to solve [the] murder, Perry tosses in several hairpin plot twists that culminate in a satisfyingly surprising conclusion." -- Publishers Weekly "Sid and Ronnie, both formerly of the LAPD, are brainy, thorough, and resourceful . . . The would-be killers, Ed and Nicole Hoyt, are the kind of people Perry knows like the back of his hand: coldhearted, businesslike, and consummately successful . . . Entertaining and suspenseful." -- Kirkus Reviews "A really solid suspense novel. One that gives you plenty of action, intriguing characters, but most of all, some real chills down the spine . . . You'll read this until the wee hours." -- Globe and Mail (Toronto) "Forty Thieves . . . is high-voltage Perry . . . In Perry's world you'll find no faces from Central Casting, and you'll hear no dialogue that rings flat or familiar. He brings his superb thriller to a close with a confrontation between his two foes that is as astonishing as it is satisfying." -- Open Letters Monthly, Praise for Forty Thieves : "Nick and Nora Charles they're not.
