Pomoc televiznímu štábu přesto přinese Dexterovi radost, sblíží se s půvabnou herečkou Jackie Forrestovou, jež má ztvárnit roli detektivní seržantky, a sám získá v seriálu malou roličku. Jeho radostná nálada se vytratí, když je v kontejneru nalezeno tělo brutálně zavražděné ženy, pak dojde k další vraždě... a všechny oběti se podobají Jackie. Dexter dostane ke svým úkolům ještě jeden – má jako bodyguard Jackie chránit. Přestože opravdu usiluje o to, aby se herečce nic nestalo, najde vraha a uloží ho v moři, někdo zabíjí dál…
"From the author of the wildly successful Dexter series, comes a new mesmerizing bad guy we can root for: Riley Wolfe is a master thief, expert at disguise and violent when he needs to be. It's no accident, though, that Riley targets only the .1% and is willing to kill when necessary: He despises the degenerate and immoral possessors of the objects that he steals. In this series launch, Riley targets an extraordinary set of crown jewels, a heist that will hopefully land him with a sensational collection of heirlooms and leave their owners bereft and embarrassed--or worse. Yes, these jewels are worth millions, but the true attraction for grabbing the jewels comes down to one simple fact: These jewels are absolutely unstealable. There is just no way anyone could get past the airtight security and dream of getting away with even a single diamond from the Imperial Collection. Riley Wolfe has always liked a challenge. But the heist is only the beginning. Riley is pursued by a worthy opponent, a cop barely a step behind him. And dancing around them both is a woman, a master forger and sometimes ally of our murdering Robin Hood protagonist."--
A standalone story that works as an entry point to the character and series, this is picture perfect escapist fiction, plotted throughout Ireland, Germany, and secret hideaways across the globe. There's no better travel companion-or robber of the rich-than Riley!
