Chris Ewan on The Good Thief’s Guide to Vegas
Listen to Chris Ewan, author of the Good Thief’s Guide To… series talk about the inspirations behind the series and his main character, Charlie Howard.
Charlie Howard – mystery writer and incorrigible thief – is in for a tough vacation in Las Vegas. Losing heavily at poker is one thing, but to find his literary agent, Victoria, being charmed by the Fifty-Fifty casino resort’s star magician, Josh Masters, is another irritation entirely. Still, Charlie’s not one to hold a grudge, least of all when he could be holding Masters’ wallet. With access to the magician’s deluxe suite now tantalizingly at hand, a spot of burglary seems to be in order and Charlie’s only too happy to oblige. Problem is, everything’s bigger in Sin City – including the fall-out from petty crimes – and it isn’t long before Charlie and Victoria find themselves threatened with a one-way trip into the Nevada desert unless they can conjure up a small fortune in twenty-four hours…
Born in Taunton in 1976, Chris Ewan now lives on the Isle of Man, where he works as a lawyer. Visit the author’s website.
