Uptown Thief

Author: Aya De Leon

Publisher: Kensington Publishing

Category: Contemporary Fiction, Crime, Crime Fiction

Book Format: Paperback

In this gripping, fast-paced tale, one bold and determined woman robs the rich and protects the exploited — until one heist too many puts everything at stake.

Marisol Rivera barely survived being abused with nowhere to turn. So there's nothing she won't do to keep her Lower East Side women's health clinic open and give disadvantaged women new lives. Running an exclusive escort service for New York City's wealthy elite is the perfect way to bankroll her business — not to mention the perfect cover for robbing corrupt CEOs. And when times get even tougher, pulling a heist on a mega-billionaire may secure the clinic's future — and her team’s — for good.

There's just one problem: Marisol didn’t anticipate dangerous news beyond her control. A persistent ex-cop who's too close for comfort, and a powerful thug with a score to settle, are turning Marisol’s carefully crafted plans into high-stakes traps. Now this modern-day Robin Hood will have to play her most daring moves yet to save those she loves — and make it out alive to fight another day.
