Description
St. Nicholas Salvage & Wrecking, a largely illegal bounty hunting operation, tracks down the worst of the worst criminals as they operate under the radar for the presiding judge of the International Criminal Court. In this action-packed international thriller, will the hunters become the hunted?
Michael Finnegan might be off the NYPD but he’s still a by-the-book kind of guy. By contrast, Katalin Fiero Dahar—ex-soldier and assassin extraordinaire—makes her own rules. Yet their partnership works magnificently. St. Nicholas Salvage & Wrecking—their high-flying international bounty-hunting business—has nabbed some of the world’s most sought-after and heinous criminals.
When Michael gets a panicked call that Sally Blue is in trouble, he and Katalin head to Rome to help. Sally’s a friend, and her outfit of thieves, the Black Harts, had proved themselves invaluable to St. Nicholas on numerous ops in the past.
During a daring rescue in a shadowy Roman plaza, Michael recognizes Bobby McCool, a stone-cold killer, aider and abettor of a notorious drug lord. McCool was also once the partner of Michael’s disgraced father, police detective Patrick Finnegan, now under house arrest in New York. Nabbing McCool would not only make the world a safer place, it might help Patrick Finnegan’s legal woes.
Saving Sally gets more complicated by the minute, for she’s set her larcenous sights on astronomically valuable goods. The stakes are high, but the crew from St. Nicholas aims higher: seeking justice for these murderous criminals and their genocidal leader.
Taking a fast-paced, twisty tour down Europe’s most luxurious streets and terrifying back alleys, The Saint of Thieves delivers nonstop action with stylish wit and razor-sharp smarts.

Featured Reviews
This is one of the best international thriller series out there, and the third one is as good as the first two.
There's lots of action, an engaging cast of colorful characters, snappy dialogue, jet-set exotic locales, and enough suspense and plot twists to keep the pages turning. Our hero can drink half a bottle of vodka, seduce the nerdy professor, and still take down a couple of mob hitmen without breaking a sweat.
The overall vibe, from the two main characters to the international glamor to the over-the-top villains, is very much Modesty Blaise/Willie Garvin, and the author even tips his hat to the resemblance at the end.
I loved The Saint of Thieves by Dana Haynes!
Loved the characters. Loved the settings. Loved the action. Loved the suspense.
It's a well-crafted and compelling story.
This is the 3rd book in the St. Nicholas Salvage & Wrecking series. It's the first I have read and now I will be working backward to read the other two. The two main characters, ex-cop Michael Finnigan and ex-spy Katalin Fiero Dahar generally bring the worst of the world's worst to the International Criminal Court and often rely on what many might consider shadowy friends to get the job done. The duo finds themselves now being called to rescue one of these friends--and the task isn't as simple as it may seem.
Highly recommended. It's due to be published in January. Get it as soon as you can.
