You can't keep a good thief down . . . Charlie Howard is back and robbing the city of Berlin blind, until he witnesses a murder being committed right before his eyes

Charlie Howard, part-time writer, part-time thief, has been engaged in a veritable spree of larceny and misappropriation since moving to Berlin, Germany. He's supposed to be working on his next novel. But high rent and a love for thrill-seeking has been hard on his word count.

But Charlie's larcenous binge is interrupted by the call to duty—on behalf of Her Majesty's Government. Four embassy employees are suspected of stealing a sensitive item. Charlie is to break into their homes, find the culprit and recover the stolen property. But there's a catch. The item is so sensitive, Charlie isn't told what he's looking for. Not its size, not its weight, nothing. He's only told that he'll recognize it when he sees it.

Charlie has been a successful thief because he follows his own rules, the first being "Don't get caught." Well, after he enters the first suspect's home, he has to add a new rule: "Don't admire the view." As Charlie stares across the street, he sees something he really wishes he hadn't—a woman being murdered. And that's just for starters. What follows is a wild adventure in the former cauldron of spies.

With The Good Thief's Guide to Berlin, Chris Ewan shows why he was voted as one of America's favorite British authors by a Huffington Post poll. Clever and wildly entertaining, this is a mystery series that is "big fun" (The Seattle Times).

But who is Rebecca really and how did she know his sisterTogether Rob and Rebecca follow the clues to discover who took Lena. In doing so they discover that even on an island where most people know each other. everyone hides a secret. and that sometimes your best option isnt to hide but to stay and fight.

Charlie, a gentleman thief to rival Cary Grant in “To Catch a Thief,†gallivants around Venice in the next caper in this “sparklingâ€* series.
Â
After a particularly bad streak of luck in Vegas, Charlie has retreated to Venice, having vowed to give up a life of crime to write crime fiction full-time. But inspiration has yet to strike. And to make matters worse, Charlieâ€s agent Victoria shows up at his door just as his prized first edition of The Maltese Falcon flies out the window with a femme-fatale burglar. Blackmailed into committing a dastardly crime in order to get his book back, Charlie is catapulted into yet another adventure, this one even more explosive than the last.

Charlie Howard isn’t only a part-time crime writer and part-time thief; he’s also a magician. For his next trick, he’ll relieve Josh Masters, the famous illusionist vying for the affections of Charlie’s friend Victoria, of $60,000 in casino chips stashed in his hotel safe. Revenge would be sweet—if there weren’t a dead redhead floating in Masters’ bathtub and if Masters hadn’t just disappeared in a puff of smoke after cheating at roulette. Convinced that Charlie was in on the scam, the casino’s owners give him an impossible mission: either pull off an elaborate heist to reimburse the house for every dollar his “accomplice” made off with, or enjoy a one-way trip into the desert.

Представляем Вашему вниманию серию захватывающих детективных романов новой звезды криминального жанра - англичанина Криса Юэна. Главный герой этих "воровских" похождений - писатель, автор детективных романов Чарли Ховард, путешествующий по европейским столицам и, занимаясь своим ремеслом, заодно расследующий те преступления, которые происходят на его глазах. Великолепные "страноведческие" романы, современные путеводители по знаменитым городам. Каждая книга "снабжена" тематическими приложениями: воровскими словариками, планами музеев, механизмами действия отмычек и т.д.

Чарли Ховард, профессиональный вор и автор детективов, знакомый нам по "ночным похождениям в Амстердаме", теперь в Париже. Разумеется, как писатель. Но и как вор тоже: он демонстрирует некоему любителю, как следует взламывать квартиру. А потом Чарли нанимают, чтобы он выкрал одну весьма непримечательную картину... - все из той же квартиры. А затем в собственной квартире Чарли... обнаруживается труп. И Ховарду опять приходится выступать в двух противоположных ролях сразу: скрывающегося от закона преступника и сыщика, отчаянно пытающегося закону помочь - хотя бы для того, чтобы спасти собственную жизнь.
