The Downside

By Mike Cooper

In an age of cybercrime, Finn is old school: he's never stolen anything weighing less than five tons. Now, fresh out of prison and flat broke, he's got a line on his biggest job ever.

Cracking the most heavily guarded private vault in North America? No problem.

Hauling $50 million of precious metal out past guards, dozens of policemen and an armored SWAT battalion? Even easier.

But navigating the betrayals of double-crossing partners, the machinations of a hedge-fund billionaire gone bad, and the ambiguous proposals of a woman with her own agenda?

If you steal this big, there's always a downside.
