Stealing Life — Antony Johnston

A SCIENCE FICTION HEIST FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE SMASH HIT FILM 'ATOMIC BLONDE'.

It's just another job… right?

Nicco Salarum is a thief, and a good one. In the rough-and-tumble city of Azbatha, where every street hustler has an enchantment in his back pocket, Nicco prides himself on using his skills â€" and the best technology money can buy â€" to get him into the houses and boardrooms of the wealthy.

But Nicco's last job went sour, leaving him in debt to a powerful gang boss, and deep in trouble. When a foreign magician offers him a vast sum for a visiting diplomat's trinket, he leaps at the opportunity.

But nothing happens in a vacuum. Caught in a game where the futures of whole nations are at stake, Nicco finds himself racing against time to right his wrongs… and save his own skin.
