A masterful thief plots an impossible crime--stealing the Iranian Crown Jewels.   From the author of the wildly successful Dexter series comes a new, mesmerizing bad guy we can root for: Riley Wolfe. He's a master thief, expert at disguise, and not averse to violence when it's needed. It's no accident, though, that Riley targets the wealthiest 0.1 percent and is willing to kill them when they're in his way: he despises the degenerate and immoral rich and loves stealing their undeserved and unearned valuables.   In this series launch, Riley aims for an extraordinary target in a heist that will make history. Riley will try to steal the Crown Jewels of Iran. Yes, these jewels are worth billions, but the true attraction for grabbing them comes down to one simple fact: it can't be done. Stealing these jewels is absolutely impossible. The collection is guarded by space-age electronics and two teams of heavily armed mercenaries. No one could even think of getting past the airtight security and hope to get away alive, let alone with even a single diamond from the Imperial Collection.   No one but Riley Wolfe. He's always liked a challenge.   But this challenge may be more than even he can handle. Aside from the impenetrable security, Riley is also pursued by a brilliant and relentless cop who is barely a step behind him.   With the aid of his sometime ally, a beautiful woman who is a master art forger, Riley Wolfe goes for the prize that will either make him a legend--or, more likely, leave him dead.… (more)

Interesting plot, we written, but pales in comparison to Dexter. At least the earlier Dexters. Riley is supposed to be “an antihero” but while Dexter had his moral code, Riley has nothing. He kills when he needs to, mostly bad people, but not always, plays with peoples feelings like they are a game, lies, cheats and steals. He’s not an antihero, he’s just an a-hole. ( )

THIS is a thriller. Jewel thief, disguised, money, forgery. Great book. This should be a movie. ( )

This was okay. Sort of in line with James Patterson coauthors mystery thrillers. If that is your thing you may like this one as well. It's fast paced and light. ( )

New series by the creator of Dexter. Great on the heist/caper parts. But Riley is as big a monster as Dexter. There is a continuing cast of characters whose interplay could work in future books. ( )

I have never read the Dexter books but I did watch the television series. This might be a good thing as I have no prior experience with this author to compare his books too.

Riley Wolfe is a man of mystery. He has many different layers. Readers have just barely been exposed to everything about Riley. Which I did find him to be interesting. Yet, the story was not as strong and therefore, it took away from the overall vibe of the story and making Riley a strong lead.

The beginning was strong and hit me in the face. It was great and grabbed my attention. After that, I was good for a little while but than the story slowed down. There were moments that were good but few and far between. The latter half of the story is where it shined the most. There were enough good things about this book that I would consider reading the next one. ( )
