Thick As Thieves is the debut novel in the Alan Stewart Mystery series, a gripping, fast-paced noir thriller set in 1940s Seattle. From best-selling author Neil Low, this novel is perfect for fans of Raymond Chandler and classic detective fiction. With a taut plot, rich characters, and relentless tension, Thick As Thieves is a mesmerizing journey through betrayal, crime, and moral ambiguity.
Set in a world where no one is who they appear to be, the story follows Alan Stewart, a private investigator determined to uncover the truth behind the mysterious death of his father, a fellow investigator. As Alan dives deeper into the seedy underbelly of Seattle, he uncovers dark secrets that link his father's death to the infamous Lindbergh kidnapping, an explosive mix of forbidden sex, family loyalty, and shocking violence. As the line between right and wrong blurs, the story builds to an unforgettable climax.
Praised for its gritty realism and atmospheric tension, Thick As Thieves immerses readers in a world of smoky bars, dark alleys, and morally complex characters. With his keen eye for detail and sharp storytelling, Neil Low channels the spirit of Quentin Tarantino and Philip Marlowe, offering a noir experience reminiscent of LA Confidential. The vivid backdrop of 1940s Seattle adds a layer of historical depth, giving the story an authenticity that fans of both historical fiction and crime thrillers will appreciate.
