Police and Thieves — James Patrick Hunt

Dan Bridger is a professional thief. A cold, efficient man who works alone and tries to live an uncomplicated life. But things get complicated when he gets a call from a woman in Seattle, who tells him his brother has been murdered. His younger brother, Seth--the good brother, who always kept his nose clean.

Bridger flies to Seattle to learn about the brother he hadn't seen for several years. He finds out that Seth was a probation and parole officer, shot to death in a parking lot. The local police dismiss it as another gang killing. But things don't add up. Why was Seth's wallet taken, but not his gun? Where is the notebook he always kept?

Bridger doesn't get much respect from the Seattle police. To them, he s just a criminal. It doesn't take him long to realizes, if he wants answers, he's going to have to get them himself. And doing so he ll see just how blurred the line is between police and thieves.
