Car thief stiffed with stiff has to outwit mob, pretty reporter helps him

A fabulous crime thriller

In Philadelphia, Teddy Clyde uses the job of a stockbroker as a front to hide his real career as a car thief. He even has a storefront and clients, but his prime nontaxable income is from vehicle repossession that leaves him in the high six-digit income bracket.His moronic brother Davey tries to steal a Porche and it is only thanks to Teddy's quick response that his sibling is saved from doing time. The brothers go to the Palisades Club owned by the mob's number two guy Anthony Bonica, but unbeknownst to Teddy he carries the body of the mob chief (who was killed by a pro) in his trunk. Everyone wants Teddy from the mob to the US Assistant Attorney Donald Shaffer to other alphabet groups. He hides with an undercover reporter that he begins to fall in love with making his life even more complicated than it is.GRAND THEFT is a fabulous crime thriller that fans will read in one sitting. The reason readers will want to see what happens next is due is to a strong prime cast. The audience will appreciate the charming rogue, and enjoy seeing the downfall of two villains, including one in the Office of the DA, and a couple of deadly scoundrels whose morality can be traced in one case directly to the concentration camps and the other through his mentor. Anyone who reads this winning thriller will seek more works by Timmy Watts because this is a great novel.Harriet Klausner
