Роджер Хоббс – лучшие книги

Дерзкое ограбление казино в Атлантик-Сити. Одного из двух грабителей охранникам удается застрелить. Второй скрывается с миллионом долларов в пластиковой упаковке. Он понятия не имеет, что деньги «заряжены» взрывчаткой и бомба сработает через 48 часов. Этого парня – вместе с деньгами – и поручено разыскать Джеку Делтону. Поручение исходит от главаря банды, организовавшего ограбление. Отказаться Джек не может – у бандитов достаточно способов заставить его быть послушным. Правда, для начала им надо его найти. Ведь его не просто так зовут Призраком.

In the South China Sea, three pirates open fire on a small yacht. Their target: a bag of smuggled uncut sapphires worth millions. But when one of them stumbles on an even more valuable cache, everything goes sideways. Within minutes two of the pirates are dead, and the last man standing is a cold-blooded psychopath who claims the treasure, and the sapphires, for himself. Given the chance, he'll disappear completely. But his boss, Angela, isn't about to let that happen. She calls in a favor from her onetime protege: a man sometimes known as Jack, but better known as Ghostman. For six years, he's wondered if Angela was still alive, but now they're back in the neon slums of Macau and up to their necks in a conspiracy bigger than they've ever encountered and more dangerous than they've ever imagined. Their partnership--two people with no ties to anyone--is at the very heart of a novel that will cement Roger Hobbs's status as one of our most talented crime writers.

I work alone.
I may be the best thief in the world but no one will ever know a single thing about me. Well, almost no one.
A lifetime ago I had a mentor, Angela. She taught me how to be a criminal, how to run a heist.
And now, six years after she vanished and left me high and dry on a job in Kuala Lumpur, she’s sent me an SOS.
Or at least I think it’s her. If it is, then I've got to go. I owe her that much.
So soon I'll be on a plane to Macau, either to see a friend or walk into a trap. Or both.
But that's the way I like it. Sometimes the only thing that makes me happy is risking my life.
Time to go.
