Some family businesses aren't worth inheriting...

January 1990: Twenty-year-old François Cloutard has no intention of following in his mafia don father's bloody footsteps. While his old man deals in violence and intimidation, François has his sights set on a far more elegant profession – one that requires finesse, intelligence, and impeccable style.

When father and son clash over François's future, the young man finds himself shipped off to Boston to learn "proper manners" from mafia boss Luca Santoro. But the New World holds opportunities his father never imagined, and François is about to discover that the most lucrative heists aren't always the ones involving broken kneecaps.

In a city where old money meets new crime, François must navigate treacherous family loyalties while honing the skills that will make him the most sophisticated thief of his generation. But when your father runs the mob and your mentor has his own deadly agenda, even the best-laid plans can turn lethal.

The gentleman thief is born.

Perfect for fans of Ocean's Eleven, The Thomas Crown Affair, Lupin, White Collar, and Leverage. If you love stylish capers, charming rogues, and impossible heists, François Cloutard will steal your heart – along with everything else.
