Meet Frank Fischer, a retired tech entrepreneur turned winemaker. There's just one thing, Frank Fischer is really Gentleman Jack Burdette, an international jewel thief.
Jack's mentor and fixer, Reginald LeGrande, pitches him on the biggest job he's ever seen, a jewelry exhibition on the French Riviera. A score worth eighty million dollars and almost no security. Too good to be true, Jack passes. But when an employee in his legitimate business disappears and takes the winery's finances with him, Jack's only way out of crime vanishes with it. Knowing he can't go to the police, the only option Jack has to make that money back and keep his winery afloat is to steal it.
There's just one problem. Jack isn't the only one in on the score. But, with eighty million--and his life--at stake, he's not going to let a little thing like competition get in the way. If expects to pull off the most daring heist in history, Jack will have to outsmart the FBI, a gang of Serbian jewel thieves, his old crew and an Israeli diamond mogul. Not to mention the fiery winemaker that Jack, or rather Frank, is in love with. The clock is ticking and he's got to pull off the Carlton Job before his two lives come face to face.
Based on the real life Carlton InterContinental heist, a crime which remains unsolved...
Step into a thrilling heist fiction novel that's guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat. Packed with high-stakes action and exhilarating suspense, A Legitimate Businessman is perfect for fans of Heat and The Old Man.
