About this listen

Lars Harrow thrives in Azoria, where dynamo-powered innovation fuels the dazzling spectacle of sanctioned heists. As one of the city's most celebrated thieves, he's turned daring thefts into electrifying performances. Yet beneath the thrill of each score, a restless ambition burns—Lars dreams of pulling off a heist so audacious it will change the game forever and make him the master of his own destiny.

His chance comes when a mysterious patron offers him the key to infiltrating the secret warehouse of Cecil Thume, the ruthless mastermind who profits from every heist in Azoria. As Lars chases the promise of new technology that could rewrite the city's future, a brutal murder sends a clear message: Thume will stop at nothing to protect his secrets.

Navigating a labyrinth of intrigue, double-crosses, and the risk of betraying everything he holds dear, Lars discovers Thume's influence runs far deeper than he ever imagined. With each daring move, he gambles not just with Azoria's fate but with his own humanity.

If Firefly were set in an alternate 1940's US

It won't require a high level of intelligence or too much reading between the lines to enjoy By Hook & Crook, a thieves vs thieves vs the establishment crime opera set in an alternate 1940's style city complete with a kingpin, conflicted law enforcement, and a strong desire to nab the biggest score yet. Behind its straightforward prose lies a cast characters reminiscent of a short-lived space opera where the tight-knit and confident crew work together to pull off some unbelievable heists while avoiding capture by law enforcement or sparking the ire of the city crime magnate. While the mystery of some strange new power source unfolds, our anti-heroes must choose their paths, and their allegiances, with the utmost care. A balancing act of public trust, personal gain, and moral obligations create navigational obstacles. An enthusiastic reading by Luke Daniels carries this story through its paces with consistent voices and clear narrative. Aside from liberal use of profanity, this book could proudly claim a YA classification. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 1.85x.]
