Among Thieves: A Novel

"A top-notch tale . . .fast-paced and gritty; Hosp knows his stuff, and it shows in this suspense-filled novel." —Nelson DeMille

In 1990, $300 million worth of paintings were stolen from Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in what remains one of the greatest unsolved art thefts of the twentieth century. Now, nearly twenty years later, the case threatens to break wide open. Members of Boston's criminal underground are turning up dead. But these are no ordinary murders. The M.O. of the attacks suggests the involvement of someone trained by the IRA. But when Scott Finn learns that one of his clients, Devon Malley, was part of the heist, he's quickly drawn into the crossfire, and into the renewed hunt for the missing artwork—a hunt that may cost Finn and his colleagues their lives.

"The novel is sharply written, and fans of the Martin Scorsese movie The Departed will note a similar feel here; Hosp blurs the line between good and bad, right and wrong. This could be the best of the Finn novels and should draw new readers to the earlier volumes." — Booklist

"Hosp has a good eye for character . . .and creates some promising ones that lead to an unusual detective pairing and an unconventional love story." — Kirkus Reviews
