Book review: Among Thieves

Among Thieves by David Hosp, published by Pan Macmillan, priced £10.

Boston-based author and attorney David Hosp turns to one of the most notorious unsolved crimes in his hometown's history for his latest thriller.

Mixing fact and fiction, the novel revolves around the notorious theft of $300 million worth of paintings from a Boston gallery.

Lawyer Scott Finn finds himself drawn back to the theft while representing a small-time criminal as the city's Irish-American gangsters start to meet messy ends in ever-increasing numbers.

With believable characters and an authentic setting, Hosp has produced a great page-turner.
