The Venice Double picks up where Safecracker left off, after Grantchester “Duke” Ducaine steps back into the thieving game to spring his dad from prison and save himself from losing his thumbs to a gambling debt. Now, a few months later, he’s trying to decide if he’d get more satisfaction from putting a bullet into the fixer who betrayed him, or his overbearing father, Knox. But when an old friend of his parents’ calls in a favor, Duke jets to Italy—along with Knox, shot caller and bookie extraordinaire Aunt Paulie, and his mentor Helen MacDonald—to pull off the exact same job they did before he was born: The Venice Double. Except instead of stealing a scrap of paper with the beginnings of La bohème written in Puccini’s own hand, this time, Duke and his family have to do the heist in reverse.
This would all be fine . . . if it wasn’t a rush job, if he didn’t have to dodge a rival team, deal with his father’s constant criticism, worry about his sister’s surgery, and confront the ghosts of his parents’ past. But the question hanging over Duke’s head is what’s going to kill him first: the job itself or having to pull it off with his family.

Jump back into the gritty underworld of heists and international crime with this second installment in the Grantchester “Duke” Ducaine thriller series.
