(Sorry that the countdown deals are only in the US and the UK, but Jeff Bezos has made it clear that I don’t make the rules.)

Here’s the book 8 description if you haven’t seen it:

Mob diamonds, white nationalists, and Middle Eastern jihadis …

On the prowl to steal a crime cartel’s diamond shipment, the Travelers zero in on the smugglers—an Iranian American pair of brother and sister oriental carpet importers. They have twelve weeks to manipulate the smugglers, figure out the details of the diamond delivery, and escape with the diamonds without tipping off the cartel.

But Middle Eastern jihadis hoping to create chaos in the US and white nationalists intent on a terrorist act bigger than the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing also have plans for the smugglers.

And when the FBI gets wind of these plots, the Travelers’ plans are suddenly careening sideways….

Thicker Than Thieves is a roller-coaster ride through a mine field of danger and conspiracy. If you like mind-boggling suspense, unpredictable plot twists, and criminal intrigue, you’ll love the eighth novel in the Travelers series.

Hope you enjoy the new book! (Can’t wait to hear what you think.)

We just got back from visiting my son’s family. Had a great time playing board games and eating turkey. And we got the bonus of helping to decorate their Christmas tree before we left. But now it’s back to work.

In case you haven’t read The Casino Switcheroo description:

Trust him at your peril…

When Koenig, the Traveling Man’s original mentor, shows up touting a casino heist—a once-in-a-lifetime, high-stakes robbery—all the Traveling Man can think about is stealing the score.

His wife thinks he’s crazy.

Koenig is a puppet master—a master manipulator who compartmentalizes the parts of a job so that only he knows all the details. What are they really going to steal? Who’s going to carry it out? How are they going to escape? And who’s going to be discarded to the opposition or the law?

The Travelers will have their hands full staying alive and staying free, and outthinking the other players, if they hope to steal Koenig’s loot right from under his nose.

The Casino Switcheroo is a full-throttle, no-holds-barred page turner. If you like can’t-figure-them-out plot twists, fast-paced action, and criminal mischief, you’ll love the seventh book in the Travelers series.

It’s finally getting warm here in Iowa. The flowers are up. The trees have leaves. We’ve put the furniture out on the screened-in porch. Woo-hoo!

I’m still hard at work on The Casino Switcheroo, book 7 of the Travelers series. Think it’s shaping up into an exciting read. 

In the meantime, to wet your whistle, let’s reminisce about book five, The Kidnap Victim. 

In The Kidnap Victim, Nicole is off with the millionaire James Denison and the Traveling Man is off on a new scam. In the other books, they tag team their way out of any tough spots, but here, where we begin, they have to sort out their own problems by themselves.

So the Traveling Man has to work on tradecraft with a new partner, and Nicole has to explain who she is to the Denison family. That, I thought, would make for an interesting starting place, something we haven’t seen before. Sort of like we’re back at the beginning of The Double Cross, only now the Travelers know all they’ve learned in the meantime.

Add to that the theme of kidnapping and all that entails. For the one who is kidnapped—lack of agency, being controlled, seeking escape. What would that person be thinking about? For the rescuer—developing the rescue plan, fear about what’s being done to the one who’s been kidnapped, and fear that the rescue plan won’t work. Plus anger and the desire for revenge. Who doesn’t hate a kidnapper?

Of course, the Travelers are not going to take their lumps lying down. They’re going to do everything they can to scheme and manipulate their way out of their troubles and into the clear.
