Dark Neon & Dirt - Trang Thomas
Shaun Nguyen is a Vietnamese war orphan who made it to America. But danger was never far behind - from the Chinatown gangs he ran with in New York, to his years in Iraq dodging bullets and defusing bombs. Nguyen learnt how to survive. By all means necessary.
Now he's a high-end thief in Los Angeles. One of the best, but smart enough to know he's living on borrowed time. Then a job goes sideways, leaving bodies on the Hollywood Freeway, stolen diamonds in his pocket, and a target on his back.
Which gets the attention of Thomas Monroe, an LAPD lieutenant who's been hunting Nguyen for years. Captain Ahab with a gun and badge, plus his own dirty secrets closing in on him fast. The two of them are set on a collision course - a thief who won't be caught and the cop who doesn't miss.
Not exactly the quiet life Nguyen is after, especially now he's met a mysterious woman who's landed in town. They fall for each other hard. A gallerist living in France who used to be with the FBI's Art Crime Team. Able to spot forgeries a mile off, but she hasn't figured him out yet.
So once he wraps up this business with the diamonds, Nguyen is done with the game. The problem is she's not quite done with the FBI.
Welcome to the City of Angels - where everyone has an angle.
