The Estate-approved sequel to TO CATCH A THIEF by David Dodge

""A worthy sequel to the classic."" - Harlan Coben

Estate approved sequel to the novel To Catch a Thief by David Dodge and 1955 Academy Award-winning film by Alfred Hitchcock

It's been a year since John Robie, notorious Riviera jewel thief, proved his innocence by catching a copycat burglar. And it's been a year since John has seen Francie Stevens, the adventurous socialite who not only saw through his disguise, but helped him catch the copycat. Now Francie is returning to the Riviera for its first-ever Fashion Week as a model for a top French designer, and John plans on rekindling their romance. But there's a problem. While helping a friend, John chases down a mysterious courier, whose ruthless associates now want John dead. To make matters worse, when Francie arrives, she has a boyfriend in tow, and tells John that she wants nothing to do with him.

John has to figure out why he's a hunted man, and why Francie is acting suspiciously. Digging deeper, he discovers a spy ring with evil intent. As John works unofficially to gather evidence, a question begins to haunt him - could Francie Stevens be a spy? With his enemies closing in, John turns to his cat burglar skills to try to save his life and expose the traitors. To survive, he has to catch the spies before they catch - and kill - a retired thief!

Reviews for To Catch a Spy

""To Catch a Spy is brimming with international intrigue and coils of mystery that are downright delightful to unravel."" -- I.S. Berry, Edgar Award-winning author of The Peacock and the Sparrow ""A worthy sequel to the classic--which is heck of a recommendation. No doubt David Dodge and Alfred Hitchcock were proudly standing over Mark O'Neill's shoulder when he was writing To Catch a Spy."" -- Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times bestselling author of 35 novels, including Fool Me Once and The Boy from the Woods
