In Sleeper, David Kettlehake created an intense, immersive atmosphere that kept me turning the pages, even when the suspense became unbearable...(the book) explores various themes such as morality and justice. I was conflicted about Boon's character, particularly his social projects funded by illegal proceeds. Boon was not a clear-cut hero; while his actions were good, they were tainted by criminal behavior. This complexity amplifies the tension, keeping readers on edge about the dangers lurking in Boon's life. -Reviewed by Maalin Ogaja for Readers' Favorite
Boon Dohir is a professional thief who seems to have it all-a high-end apartment, luxury cars, and an enviable nightlife. But beneath his polished exterior lies a darker side, a life of isolation, self-destructive habits, and painful secrets. Boon gets blackout drunk every night, not for fun, but to forget the demons of his past.
He and his team have meticulously planned their latest heist. The scam is expected to net them a tidy $200,000, an amount just below the level guaranteed to attract the attention of law enforcement. But when the bank accidentally wires him $20,000,000 instead, Boon breaks his own ironclad rule and pockets it all.
But in doing so, he triggers a series of deadly consequences. The FBI is soon at his door, asking questions he can't answer. Then his life is threatened by a ruthless Mexican drug lord demanding the return of his money. But when one of his team members is murdered, Boon realizes his enemies are closing in from all sides.
To save himself and the woman he loves, Boon must confront the sins of his past and forge alliances with the very people who are trying to take him out. Boon Dohir may have stolen millions, but now he must fight for the one thing money can't buy-more time. If he fails, none of them will live to see another day.
