Belfast city centre. In the freezing, pelting rain, three men in wolf costumes decide to rob a bank. Everything goes awry for the bank robbers when the security systems do not run the way they expect!<br/><br/>About to flee empty handed, the youngest of the trio, Brian, confronts a customer who is gripping a large briefcase. The man, tall and very muscular strikes an intimating figure, and is not about to give up the briefcase easily. He is knocked over the head with a gun by Brian and falls into unconsciousness, his briefcase removed.<br/><br/>Back at base, the three are initially despondent at lack of success, until they open the briefcase. Over half a million pounds is inside. They can't believe their luck. But why is the media reporting an attempted robbery instead of an actual one? And why no mention of the customer being assaulted? <br/><br/>Mystery and intrigue follow and an exciting story unfolds in this crime thriller.<br> <span style="float:right" id="preview"></span> <br><br>Genre: <a class="ameritxt" href="/genres/?gp=M">Mystery</a><br> </div> <br> <div class="sectionhead">Visitors also looked at these books</div><br><div class="similarbook"><a href="/m/john-misak/fallen.htm"><img alt="cover of The Fallen" src="/img/_.png" data-US="513N6oyWdbL._SL500_.jpg" data-GB="513N6oyWdbL._SL500_.jpg" data-CA="513N6oyWdbL._SL500_.jpg" data-AU="513N6oyWdbL._SL500_.jpg" width="120" height="185"></a><br><a href="/m/john-misak/fallen.htm">The Fallen</a><br>(<span class="iseries"><a href="/m/john-misak/john-keegan-mystery/">John Keegan Mystery</a>, book 5</span>)<br><a href="/m/john-misak/">John Misak</a></div><div class="similarbook"><a href="/m/brent-monahan/st-lucia-island-club.htm"><img alt="cover of The St. Lucia Island Club" src="/img/_.png" data-US="51Mt4PPgMlL._SL500_.jpg" data-GB="51Mt4PPgMlL._SL500_.jpg" data-CA="51Mt4PPgMlL._SL500_.jpg" data-AU="51Mt4PPgMlL._SL500_.jpg" width="120" height="185"></a><br><a href="/m/brent-monahan/st-lucia-island-club.htm">The St. Lucia Island Club</a><br>(<span class="iseries"><a href="/m/brent-monahan/john-le-brun/">John Le Brun</a>, book 5</span>)<br><a href="/m/brent-monahan/">Brent Monahan</a></div><div class="similarbook"><a href="/m/tim-maleeny/hanging-the-devil.htm"><img alt="cover of Hanging the Devil" src="/img/_.png" data-US="51odkLJffyL._SL500_.jpg" data-GB="51odkLJffyL._SL500_.jpg" data-CA="51odkLJffyL._SL500_.jpg" data-AU="51odkLJffyL._SL500_.jpg" width="120" height="185"></a><br><a href="/m/tim-maleeny/hanging-the-devil.htm">Hanging the Devil</a><br>(<span class="iseries"><a href="/m/tim-maleeny/cape-weathers-investigation/">Cape Weathers Investigation</a>, book 5</span>)<br><a href="/m/tim-maleeny/">Tim Maleeny</a></div><div class="similarbook"><a href="/h/james-harper/once-bitten.htm"><img alt="cover of Once Bitten" src="/img/_.png" data-US="51UT2+uRULL._SL500_.jpg" data-GB="51UT2+uRULL._SL500_.jpg" data-CA="51UT2+uRULL._SL500_.jpg" data-AU="51UT2+uRULL._SL500_.jpg" width="120" height="185"></a><br><a href="/h/james-harper/once-bitten.htm">Once Bitten</a><br>(<span class="iseries"><a href="/h/james-harper/evan-buckley-thriller/">Evan Buckley Thriller</a>, book 17</span>)<br><a href="/h/james-harper/">James Harper</a></div><div class="spacer"></div><br> <div id="usedsection" class="sectionhead">Used availability for Sam Millar's The Bespoke Hitman</div> <iframe id="abeframe" style="visibility:hidden;" width="710" height="0" src="about:blank" data-src="/frames/abe.001.htm"></iframe> <br> <div id="genre-list"></div>  <div class="ad-banner-bottom">  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1561798315429-0'> <script> if (!noads) googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1561798315429-0'); }); </script> </div> </div>   <br> <div class="search"> <form action="/search/"><span class="searchtxt">Search for  </span><select class="searchselect" name="searchfor" onchange="this.form.keywords.focus();"><option selected="selected" value="author">Author</option><option value="book">Book</option><option value="series">Series</option></select>  <input class="searchinput" type="text" name="keywords" maxlength="60" required>  <input type="submit" value="Find"></form> </div> <a href="/about.htm">About Fantastic Fiction</a>       <a href="/information-for-authors.htm">Information for Authors</a> <br> <div class="footer"> <a href="/privacy.htm">Privacy Policy</a>       <a href="/cookie-policy.htm">Cookie Policy</a>       <a href="/terms.htm">Terms</a>       <a href="/affiliate-disclosure.htm">Affiliate disclosure</a>       <a href="/preferences.htm">Preferences</a> <br> Questions?
