“Fool Me Twice,” by Jeff Lindsay (Dutton)
Riley Wolfe has surely met his match in “Fool Me Twice,” the second novel in Jeff Lindsay’s series about the self-proclaimed world’s greatest thief.
This time, his target is Raphael’s “The Liberation of St. Peter.” The priceless work of art is a fresco. A fresco doesn’t hang on a wall. It is part of a wall, the paint embedded in the plaster. The wall in question, part of the Apostolic Palace, is more than 18 feet long. And the palace is located in one of the most heavily guarded places in the world the Vatican.

In
Just Watch Me (2019), a caper novel on steroids, Wolfe was introduced as a man who gets his kicks committing robberies that no one else would dare to contemplate, his preferred victims the smug super-rich, whom he despises as leeches. To Wolfe, the Vatican job qualifies on both counts, but it is clearly impossible.

Fool Me Twice
Art thief Riley Wolfe is a master of his nefarious trade but stealing a priceless fresco from the wall of the Vatican is surely mission impossible… or is it?
Jeff Lindsay, bestselling US author of the brilliantly macabre Dexter Morgan novels, is back to thrill, chill and make us grin with the second book in his full-throttle and wonderfully bone-crunching new series starring a heist artist and thief extraordinaire whose undercover antics would make even the great James Bond tremble with fear.
With his eye fixed firmly on outrageous entertainment rather than recognisable authenticity, Lindsay takes readers on the wildest of rides through deadly danger, devious double-crossing, some eye-watering violence, and villains of the darkest hue as Riley employs all his guile and wit just to stay alive.
