Summary

Pulling off an impossible crime is the only way he can stay alive.

Stealing a Faberge egg. Surviving a double cross. And pulling off the most incredible robbery ever, for the world's most demanding--and dangerous--collector.

This will be the challenge of thief extraordinaire Riley Wolfe's life.

Held prisoner by a top-dog international arms dealer, and a top-notch art collector, Riley has to steal an artwork. Small problem--it's a fresco, "The Liberation of St. Peter." Slightly larger problem--it's in the Vatican.

And, it's a literal wall.

Riley has no choice: agree or die. But when his captor turns him loose, he finds even more dangerous criminals waiting to ensnare him, threatening his life and the life of the woman he loves. The threat is clear. Riley knows they both have only one way out.

With wicked dialogue, tons of explosive twists, and cinema-worthy scenes, Jeff Lindsay's Fool Me Twice is a wildly entertaining caper starring an antihero you'll root for, Riley Wolfe.

Kirkus Review

Peerless high-end thief Riley Wolfe agrees to steal a priceless artifact that literally can't be stolen. And that's only the beginning of his problems. Fearsome arms dealer Patrick Boniface can get anything he wants, and what he wants now that he's abducted Riley is Raphael's The Liberation of St. Peter, a fresco painted directly onto a wall in the Vatican. Of course, you can't take the fresco without taking at least part of the wall, and as Riley notes, "I'm not Superman. I'm not even Deadpool." But Boniface is unusually persuasive, and his torture-happy sidekick Bernadette even more so. No sooner has Riley agreed to try than he's kidnapped from his kidnapper by Bailey Stone, a Perth-based rival of Boniface who demands that Riley pledge his allegiance to him instead. Uncertain who'll be his patron when the dust clears, Riley goes to work, assisted by his friend Monique, a peerless forger, and Betty Dougherty (not her real name), an information professional with a serious grudge against Stone. Not to be outdone, Frank Delgado, the FBI special agent who gave Riley such a hard time in his debut, Just Watch Me (2019), deals in his Task Force for International Arms Regulation and Enforcement, and everyone hunkers down to spy on everyone else as they wait for Riley to pull off the impossible theft and then wriggle out of the consequences. A violent, featherweight caper for fans who wish movie theaters would open to show more Mission: Impossible sequels. Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
