TEALING
by
CHARLIE HUSTON
“In his debut novel, Huston has come up with a wrong-man plotworthy of Hitchcock.”
—Entertainment Weekly
“Wow! Brutal, visceral, violent, edgy, and brilliant.”
—
Harlan Coben, author of
No Second Chance
“
Caught Stealing
reads like
The Maltese Falcon
on crack. Tarantinomeets Hitchcock meets Westlake meets Bukowski in a wild, relent-lessly entertaining ride filled with vivid and colorful—but alwaysbelievable—characters.”
—
Wallace Stroby, author of
The Barbed-Wire Kiss
“It’s hard enough for a writer to hit his mark, but Charlie Hustonshreds his target with his first bullet fired. A frighteningly assured de-but novel.”
—
John Ridley, author of
Stray Dogs
and
The Drift
“A gripping parable of bad things happening to a good person . . .”
—The Philadelphia Inquirer
“The mayhem is riveting. . . . Huston shows a masterful command of first-person narrative, deftly chronicling Thompson’s gradual slidefrom victim to avenger. . . . The story moves with the speed of thebest chase novels, and Thompson possesses a self-deprecating spiritthat will keep readers rooting for him even as he edges closer to thepoint of no return.”
