He stole $80 million in 90 seconds. Getting it was the easy part, getting away with it was something else...

Jack Burdette, a professional thief living a double life, is tipped to the biggest heist ever seen--a jewelry exhibition in the French Riviera worth eighty million dollars which has almost no security. Too good to be true, Jack passes. But when his accountant disappears with ten million dollars, Jack's legitimate business, his security and his way into civilian life could disappear with it. Knowing he can't turn to the police, Jack's only option to get back the money he's lost is to steal it.

The clock starts when Jack learns he's no longer the only one in on the score and he's not going to let a little thing like competition get in the way. But if he's going to pull off the most daring heist in history, Jack will have to stay one step ahead of the FBI, a gang of Serbian jewel thieves, his old crew and a dangerous Israeli diamond mogul.

Can this thief pull off the heist of a lifetime before his two lives come face to face?

A Legitimate Businessman is based on the largest, unsolved jewelry heist in history and is the first book in an exiting crime thriller series starring "Gentleman" Jack Burdette.
