A nauseating wannabe influencer in the toxic manosphere, Brodie Hendren uses the money he makes from credit card fraud and selling Nazi memorabilia to stalk his ex-wife. Meanwhile, two thieves who became the closest thing to sister and brother in a foster family turn into adversaries of peak criminal acumen, executing competing heists for pricey collectible stamps. The sister, now calling herself Grace Latimore, made it out of foster care by learning high-end robbery skills from her older boyfriend, a corrupt cop. Years ago, she extracted an especially valuable watch from a theft to cover the share that boyfriend took from her—the same watch her brother, Adam Garrett, was sent by his own crime boss to seize. Now Adam pays off his underworld debts by working surveillance for an unlicensed private eye: sometimes on honest investigations, sometimes on scams. Motivated by a mix of vengeance and family ties, Adam launches a search for Grace. This forlorn history adds a depth of motivation rarely seen in such precise heists. Grace, hoping to have finally found a safe place to land, works as the assistant in an antique shop, putting to legitimate use all the valuation skills she learned in cat burglary. But the antiques dealer has her own fears and secrets. As all the expertly detailed crimes converge, there are high stakes in cash and human lives on the line.
