If you’re looking for a more subtle, nuanced read, SAFECRACKER may not be for you. Crooked cops? The cartel? The FBI? Check, check, check! Fist fights with a femme fatale? Would you expect anything else? Wick pulls you into society’s seedy underbelly, and you’ll enjoy this novel best if you suspend your disbelief and strap yourself in for a wild ride. Theft of an expensive and unique coin? Check. No stone seems to be unturned in this novel. The imagery is tangible, the action is constant and very fast-paced, and the idea of following a safecracker on his expeditions is endlessly exciting. If you find that you tend to prefer the movie to the book, this may be just the book for you to pick up, as it reads like an action movie. Ryan Wick’s SAFECRACKER follows Michael as he ends up trading one problem for another attempting to dig out of the mess he’s gotten himself into. To say things don’t go according to plan is the understatement of the century. His next job seems easy enough – he just has to steal a very rare coin from a hedge fund manager that will conveniently be out all night at a charity gala. He has no problem purloining expensive valuables, but refuses to make a mess in the process of doing so and avoids violent altercations. Meet Michael Maven, a movie theater owner by day and thief by night that plays by the rules and has a conscience.
