The Perfect Crime
Seven deadly sins. Seven professional thieves. Seventy million dollars.
Mr Sunday has designed the perfect crime.
He assembles six criminals, each chosen for a particular talent and a particular weakness: greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth. Together with Sunday’s pride, they form a team capable of stealing $70 million from a secretive Roman bank.
The plan is meticulous. The victim cannot complain. The bank cannot admit the money existed. And if everything goes according to plan, there will be no crime for the police to investigate.
There is just one problem.
Inspector Vito Carbone doesn’t believe in perfect crimes.
And when somebody boasts online about a robbery that officially never happened, Carbone and Sergeant Carmel Lombardo begin asking precisely the questions nobody wants answered.
The perfect crime has been committed.
Now all Mr Sunday has to do is get away with it.
Praise for this book
5-Star Review
The Perfect Crime by Tom Kane is a clever and gripping thriller about seven criminals brought together to steal seventy million dollars from a secretive bank in Rome. Each man is known only by a day of the week and has a specific skill that helps make Sunday’s carefully designed plan possible. What begins as an intelligent heist soon becomes much more mysterious and dangerous than anyone expected.I enjoyed the suspense, the unique characters, and the way the story slowly reveals that the real crime may be far bigger than simply stealing money. The ending was especially intriguing and left me thinking about what really happened. A dark, creative, and entertaining thriller with an unexpected twist.
I have read and enjoyed - in a slightly different way to usual book enjoyment - all of Tom Kane's noir mystery series so far. I have to say that, although the stories are all on different subjects, they create the air of mystery beyond belief - quite chilling in their own individual ways, and quite impossible to put down, I did begin to feel a sense on déja vu in the dialogue. Clever responses to lines spoken by another character, or in response to a situation. Of course, this may well be the idea - that nothing is ever as straightforward or clear as it at first appears. In any case, this book, like the others, is very cleverly written and leaves me with a sense of being witness to something extraordinary and inexplicable.
