The pretender (ebook) by James Patterson and Andrew Bourelle

Logan is a thief who has worked his last job - the only thing he has left to do is split the loot with his partner Marco, and then he can go on his merry way.  It appears that Marco has other plans because he wants to meet in the middle of nowhere, and it soon becomes clear that Logan was right to be worried because Marco doesn't want to share the diamonds with his former partner.  Stuck at a stalemate Marco and Logan go their separate ways. 

Two years later Logan is living a simple life near the beautiful Lake Aloha, keeping a low profile while living off the profits of his last job.  It is a quiet life, and he stays under the radar to avoid unwanted attention.  When he meets Hannah he has no idea that she is about to make him big news - local and national.  His simple life is about to be anything but simple, and Logan is about to discover that there really is no honour among thieves.

I really enjoyed reading The pretender, it is a great little addition to the Bookshots series and was the perfect blend of action and suspense.  There is a nice little interpersonal relationship story that winds through the story, and it is a challenge to guess what could possibly be coming next.  Lots of fun to read and hopefully there are more Bookshots from Patterson and Bourelle as this was one of the better Bookshots I have read and deserves to be discovered!
