Caught Stealing
of Charlie Huston
Series: Hank Thompson #1
Description
Itâs three thousand miles from the green fields of glory, where Henry âcall me Hankâ Thompson once played California baseball, to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where the tenements are old, the rents are high, and the drunks are dirty. But now Hank is here, working as a bartender and taking care of a cat named Bud who is surely going to get him killed.It begins when Hankâs neighbor, Russ, has to leave town in a rush and hands over Bud in a carrier. But it isnât until two Russians in tracksuits drag Hank over the bar at the joint where he works and beat him to a pulp that he starts to get the idea: Someone wants something from him. He just doesnât know what it is, where it is, or how to make them understand he doesnât have it.Within twenty-four hours Hank is running over rooftops, swinging his old aluminum bat for the sweet spot of a guyâs head, playing hide and seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting a whole lot of cash on a concrete floor.All because of two cowboys, two Russian mafia men, and some of the weirdest goons ever assembled in one place. All because of Bud. All because once, in another life, in another world, the only thing Hank wanted was to take third baseâwithout getting caught.
