Thick as Thieves by Sandra Brown
Twenty years ago, in the dead of night, four unlikely allies pulled off a daring heist. By daybreak, one was in the hospital. One was in jail. One was dead. And one got away with it.
Arden Maxwell is the daughter of the most infamous man in Caddo Lake. Twenty years ago, her father was suspected of a burglary that left a store safe emptied of cash and a dead man in the lake. Joe Maxwell disappeared- presumably after murdering his accomplice for the money-abandoning his two young daughters.
Now, after countless personal setbacks, Arden decides to return to the family home in Caddo Lake and, finally, get answers to the questions that torment her. Little does she know, however, that two of her father’s co-conspirators are watching her every move.
Ledge Burnet, a rebellious teen at the time of the heist, enlisted in the army after the robbery to atone for his misdeed. He’s back in town-and keeping an eye on his archival, not a corrupt district attorney, who he suspects was the real murder. Both men have spent years keeping secrets, hoping the other will make a fatal misstep, and Arden’s arrival sets them both on red alert. And on- not only ignites Ledge’s determination to expose the DA’s treachery…but also sparks a desire he wishes to deny.
