Queens of the Steal
The Name of the Game
Review comments by Verified Purchase Amazon and Audible customers:
“What a brilliant story! The plot line twisted and turned and I ended up just sitting in the car outside home to hear the end. The complex characters that you just willed to be ok despite their situation were expertly read.”
“The story is superbly well crafted - complex without being convoluted, and offering up intriguing characters in whom the listener quickly invests. It is a strongly produced audio, too, expressively read in a style which genuinely compliments the narrative. This was a delight to listen to.”
Sometimes vengeance isn’t just taken - it’s stolen.
Axel Archer was a retired soldier, family man, patriot... and the king of thieves. He used his training and expertise to pull off heists throughout New York City. First, it was out of necessity to support his family, but then because no other thrill could hope to rival it.
That was until the day a single gunshot rang out and what was supposed to be a routine bank job spiraled into disaster. His four daughters - Cassidy, Delilah, Bethany, and Angie - were forced to scatter and assume new identities, trying their best to live new lives and forget about the past.
Five years later, tragedy causes the Archer sisters to return to New York to pick up the pieces of their shattered lives, reunite in a quest for vengeance, and uncover a conspiracy which has cost them dear.
They will take their father’s training, their own skills and qualities - from infiltration to marksmanship to getaway driving to hacking - and adopt their own style. They will show New York that the heirs to the king of thieves are back in town and that the queens of the steal are just as worthy of the throne...
Queens of the Steal - Volume One is an eight-part series of action-thriller novellas ideal for fans of the crime and heist genres who enjoy quick and entertaining reads.
Sisterhood
Review comments by Verified Purchase Amazon and Audible customers:
“A suspenseful story with fast paced action and an audacious, slick heist. Each of the sisters is unique in personality and the skills they bring to any situation, so the dynamic between them is intriguing and well explored.”
Tragedy sees the Archer sisters return to New York City, reunited for the first time in five years, emotions still raw even after so long spent apart. However, differences are put aside when Axel Archer's final message to his daughters contains a warning not to investigate his death but to carry on with their lives.
It is a warning that the sisters cannot follow, for love, loyalty, and honor demand that they discover who took their father's life and make them pay. Whoever recruited Axel needed the skills of one of the best thieves available. So the sisters resolve to become as good if not better a recruitment prospect to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes. Their path to revenge will not be traveled as the Archers, though, but as the newest, slickest, and most effective heist crew in New York City - The Brooklyn Queens.
But first, they will need to save Jimmy Delgado from a vengeful mobster, while avoiding the attentions of NYPD detective Bryan Becker, who has his own reasons for investigating Axel's murder. Meanwhile, drug cartel enforcer Jorge Melendez arrives in Las Vegas to begin his hunt for the woman who kidnapped his employer's murdered brother, and no one who had any dealings with her will have forgotten Delilah Archer...
