The Thieves Of Heaven by Richard DoetschMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sometimes you pick up a book that just catches your eye. It may be the description, or the blurb from an author you love. But, when that book turns out to be just awesome, then you have something. The Michael St. Pierre series from Doetsch is just one of these books as well as the whole series and ANYTHING else Richard Doetsch has written. He deserves best seller status.
In The Thieves of Faith, we meet our hero, Michael, a flawed man but with an incredible talent for theft. In the course of a heist, he saves a beautiful woman from being killed and is in turn caught and sent to prison. Later, after being released, a known felon, he meets his wife, he gives it up and becomes a security professional, helping other people design systems to stop thieves. Finding his soul mate in a cruel twist of fate in that she soon becomes very sick. With a new business and no money, Michael is blackmailed into stealing again to save his wife's life. Something he promised her he would never do. The heist? Just steal two keys from the Vatican. One gold and one silver.
This is a quasi religious thriller in the mold of the Da Vinci Code but so much more. Michael completes the job and comes to find out that the treatment for his wife is not working, additionally he is visited by a enigmatic stranger who tells Michael that those keys are the keys given to Simon Peter and are the only things keeping Satan in check. They must steal them back from the billionaire who commissioned the job, someone NO ONE wants to mess with if you get my meaning. Do yourself a favor and read this and it's sequels. You will not be disappointed.
