      Quando Rob Hale, un giovane tecnico del riscaldamento, si risveglia in ospedale dopo un incidente in moto, il suo primo pensiero va a chi era in sella dietro di lui, un’affascinante bionda conosciuta il giorno prima durante un intervento di riparazione in una casa tra i boschi. Ma i dottori e la polizia insistono nell’affermare che sul luogo dell’incidente non c’era nessun altro a parte lui, e attribuiscono la sua convinzione allo shock unito alla forte somiglianza della ragazza con la sorella di Rob, Laura, morta suicida. Sicuro di non essersi inventato niente, Rob decide di condurre personalmente delle indagini, con l’aiuto di una detective professionista, Rebecca Lewis. La donna è appena arrivata da Londra, assunta dai suoi genitori per far luce sulla morte della sorella. Il mistero non farà che infittirsi, coinvolgendo servizi segreti, ricchi petrolieri e molte altre pedine più o meno consapevoli di un gioco in cui nessuno si fida di nessuno. La piccola, pacifica isola di Man diventerà il cuore di un intrigo internazionale che nulla ha da invidiare alle atmosfere più cupe di una metropoli e il centro di un mistero in cui i lettori saranno trascinati dalla forza magnetica della scrittura di Chris Ewan.

The next day, Charlie is hired to steal a painting--from the same address. Coincidence? Perhaps, but then why does a dead body turn up in his living room? And what is he going to do when his charming literary agent, Victoria (who is trusting enough to assume he looks like his author photo), decides they should finally meet face to face? Nobody ever said a life of suspense was easy, but in Chris Ewan's The Good Thief's Guide to Paris, Charlie, the most disarmingly charming burglar since Cary Grant, soon finds things are getting way out of control.
