Caught Stealing

Hank Thompson gave up baseball after a career-ending injury and now tends bar in Manhattan, keeping a low profile. That ends the night two Russians in tracksuits beat him half to death looking for something he's never heard of. Over the next twenty-four hours, Hank finds himself dodging the NYPD across rooftops, riding the subway with a corpse, and counting stolen cash on a concrete floor, all because of a debt that was never his.

Charlie Huston delivers a breakneck, brutally violent thriller that treats a washed-up athlete's ordinary life as the fuse for an escalating New York City nightmare.
