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.

As a fan of the Dexter show but not necessarily the book series, I thought I'd check out Jeff Lindsay's new series. I liked the main character, but I what made me put this book down was the improbability of it all.
The main character just happens to see a magazine article and fix all his depression about what to do next. The cop in pursuit doesn't know why, but he's going to the exact city to look for the exact guy because he's going to steal the exact thing he's actually going to steal. It's all a little on the nose and completely took me out of the story. It's as if the writer knew where he wanted them to be but couldn't figure out how to get them there.
