A cautious New York burglar risks his neck for the score of a lifetime in this rollicking thriller by the bestselling author of the 87th Precinct series. Â Alex Hardy is the finest thief in New York City. A crib burglar, he robs apartmentsânever hotels, never offices, never liquor stores, never jewelers. Strictly apartments, and strictly during the day. Heâs paranoid, ready to cut and run as soon as a job turns sourâheâs already been to prison once, and he doesnât plan on getting caught againâbut heâs about to get the offer of a lifetime, the big make heâs always been looking for. How can he say no? This could set him up for lifeâbut it could also send him back to Sing Sing for good. Â The stake revolves around Daisy, a one-legged hooker who spends Thursday afternoons at the home of a Westchester millionaire. It would be simple if Alex wasnât increasingly distracted by Jessica, his square neighbor who has no idea heâs a burglar and seems to like him. Between these two very different women lies the biggest opportunity of Alexâs life. Will he get his hands on it before the alarms start to sound? Â A heist story in the tradition of Lawrence Block or Donald E. Westlake, Doors is a brilliantly detailed story of how to stealâand whyâfrom legendary Mystery Writers of America Grand Master Ed McBain. Â |
