Summary

Los Angeles burglar Junior Bender is in the middle of burgling a house and has just gotten his hands on one of the world's rarest stamps when the job goes terrifically wrong. After barely escaping, Junior realizes the danger is far from over. He's gotten himself on the wrong side of a man whose name is synonymous with violence, and to save his own skin he's set off a chain reaction of blackmail, strong-arming, and escalating crime. To pay off his underworld debts, Junior is forced to break into the house of the most powerful man in Hollywood, the shadowy, widely feared studio mogul known as King Maybe. It's an impossible break-in, and to get out of the house alive Junior will need to use everything he's learned, plus a few skills he knows he doesn't possess.

Still great, but perhaps taking a darker turn

If you have been reading/listening since the start of the series, this is still a good story. However the tone seems to have shifted slightly concentrating more on the fraught relationships between Junior, and the women in his life, and away from his escapades. Still an addictive listen however, and the narration continues to deliver.

Bit of a slog

Some of the dialogue seemed to go on and on. The same applies to the narrative of the final burglary. Slow going and didn't make me want to check out the rest of the series.
