{"product_id":"book-c8c1","title":"The Take","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author Christopher Reich, an international spy thriller featuring Simon Riske: one part James Bond, one part Jack Reacher.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Riske is a freelance industrial spy who, despite his job title, lives a mostly quiet life above his auto garage in central London. He is hired to perform the odd job for a bank, an insurance company, or the British Secret Service, when he isn't expertly stealing a million-dollar watch off the wrist of a crooked Russian oligarch. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Riske has maintained his quiet life by avoiding big, messy jobs; until now. A gangster by the name of Tino Coluzzi has orchestrated the greatest street heist in the history of Paris: a visiting Saudi prince had his pockets lightened of millions in cash, and something else. Hidden within a stolen briefcase is a secret letter that could upend the balance of power in the Western world. The Russians have already killed in an attempt to get it back by the time the CIA comes knocking at Simon's door. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Coluzzi was once Riske's brother-in-arms, but their criminal alliance ended with Riske in prison, having narrowly avoided a hit Coluzzi ordered. Now, years later, it is thief against thief, and hot on their trail are a dangerous Parisian cop, a murderous Russian femme fatale, her equally unhinged boss, and perhaps the CIA itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the grand tradition of \u003ci\u003eThe Day of the Jackal\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Bourne Identity\u003c\/i\u003e, Christopher Reich's \u003ci\u003eThe Take\u003c\/i\u003e is a stylish, breathtaking ride.","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49349480153392,"sku":"BDc8c1","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49349480186160,"sku":"ZEc8c1","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/295778-c8c1-Square.jpg?v=1734251824","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-c8c1","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
